|H£ full and interesting Introduction from
the pen of one of the most distin-
guished members of the &mily now living,
leaved but little to be said by the Compiler. He
forbears to consume the time of the reader by
detailing the difficulties which have attended the pre-
paration of the work. The time he has devoted to it may be
measured by years. The correspondence would fill volumes ;
to say nothing of journeys, searches and personal examinations
in books, in grave-)rards, and in the flesh. It is due to himself
to state that be must add his own to the complaints of all
genealogists, that letters of inquiry, and appeals for information,
have been met with an indifference and neglect that argue unfa-
vorably for the courtesy or family pride of too many of the
name. To this cause he refers most of the incompleteness that
is to be found in the work ; and it would be a source of
permanent discomfort to him if he had i)ot the hope, that the

vi Preface.

sight of the book itself may inspire many with a desire to
furnish information they have hitherto withheld, and to provide
him with material for a supplementary volume he meditates,
which he trusts will correct all errors, and supply all omissions,
of the present. He does not consider his work finished as it stands.

While the Compiler is conscious of no self-reproach for lack
of patience in the preparation of the book, he confesses that it
has been hurried in the publication. He has, in fact, delayed
his departure from the country to allow himself to print what
he had collected and prepared, in order to secure it against
loss or dispersion in his absence. This haste excludes from
the present volume the Military Roll of the family — a proud
one — and certain other tabular statements, for which abundant
material exists, and most of which he has collected.

If some of the kindred have exhibited less interest in the
enterprise than proper family feeling ought to have excited,
others have extended a cooperation so zealous and effective as
to burden the Compiler with obligation. He takes pleasure in
specially acknowledging the valuable assistance he has received
from Hon. Erastus C. Benedict of New York, Rev,
Nathan D. Benedict of Bridgeport, Deacon Andrew L.
Benedict of Bethel, William Northrop Benedict of
Ridgefield, Ct., and Isaac Hoyt Benedict of Washington,
D.C.

Henry C. Ryder, Esq., of Danbury, Ct., bound to the
family by no tie of blood or afEnity, has, nevertheless, rendered
aid to the work that entitles him to grateful mention.

EXPLANATORY.

Figures of two sizes will be observed in the left hand margin of the pages. At
birth each child that subsequently becomes the head of a family is numbered by figures
of the smaller size, and when taken up as the head of a family, receives the same
number, but in figures of the larger size. Thus, on page 76 will be found Henry,
numbered 125 in the smaller figures, and having become a father he reappears on
page 1 24 with the same number, but in figures of the larger size. Still other smaller
figures will be found above and at the right hand of names of heads of families.
These denote the respective generation to which each name belongs, counting from
Thomas, the first of the name in this country ; thus : Henry^ (John,s Nathantel,^
John,} John,' Thomas'), means that Henry of the 6th generation was the son <^
John of the 5th, who was son of Nathaniel of the 4th, who was son of John of
the 3d, who was son of John of the id, who was son of Thomas of the ist.

The abbreviations used are : b., born ; bap., baptized ; ch., child or children ;
coll., college; d., died; dau., daughter; m., married; grad., graduate or graduated;
res., resides, resided, or residence ; wid., widow.

When the name of the state is omitted, that of New York is understood, except
in the case of the familiar Connecticut towns, like Norwalk, Ridgefield, Ridgebury,
New Canaan, Bethel, Danbury^ etc.

INTRODUCTION.

I ORE than forty years ago T began with zeal to collect
materials for the Benedict genealogy. After a few
years came active professional life and, also, some
discouragements, which compelled me to neglect the
work without abandoning the idea of ultimate publication, till two
years since, when the author of this book entered upon the same
work. With great satisfaction I placed my materials at his
service, and he has ever since pursued his object with the intelli-
gence, industry, perseverance and success which the pages of
this work show. My grateful acknowledgment for his labor in
a common cause, would not permit me to deny his request that
I would write an introduction to his interesting volume.

When r say interesting, it will of course be understood that
I am speaking only to our little family, on a family matter.
The outside world will please consider that it is none of their
affair, and we are not bound to interest them. We may get
ourselves together in our own way and in our own time, and fill
up our family record and album without apology. We have
a right to be kindly afFectioned one to another. We are blood
relations, and like all well constituted families we are a mutual
admiration society, and no one can complain while we keep our
mutual admiration within our own little. circle, and do not sound
a trumpet before us as the hypocrites do to be seen of men.

X Introduction.

Surely we may look in our glass in our own room. In all
these dead generations we see ourselves. They are our family
mirror.

Benedict.

The name is derived from the Latin benedictus^ blessed, well
spoken of. Though unknown as a proper name in the Latin,
it is common, as such, in those languages of modern Europe
which are derived from the Latin, or are, from the prevalence
of the Romish religion, sprinkled with Roman derivatives —
Benedict, English and German, Benedek, Austrian, Benedetto,
Italian, Bendito, Spanish and Portuguese, Benoit, French, and
many other derivative forms. It undoubtedly became a proper
name from the ancient custom of adding to, or substituting for
a family name some striking individual characteristic, or the
name of some patron saint. This custom prevailed extensively
in the Romish church, and does to this day. The members
of religious houses usually take a new name on taking their
vows, and the popes often take descriptive names, as Pius,
Innocent, &c. Benedict is accordingly found in all those
languages, first as the name of an ecclesiastic ; and the known
custom of giving to children the names of persons distinguished
in religion would soon secularize the name.

The first that illustrated the name was St. Benedict, an Italian
hermit of great holiness and austerity, who about the year 520
and afterwards, wrought miracles and was canonized. He built
twelve monasteries, and established the monkish order of the
Benedictines, so famous all over Europe.

The order of St. Benedict has been one of the most illustri-
ous in the Roman Catholic church, being distinguished for the
number of great men, saints, writers, men of learning, of piety
and of high literary and moral culture, and persons worthy to be
elevated to the thrones of the churches, which they have
governed with great wisdom and probity.

Two hundred years ago the Benedictine list reached forty

Introduction. xi

popes, two hundred cardinals, fifty patriarchs, one hundred and
sixteen archbishops, forty-six hundred bishops, four emperors,
twelve empresses, forty-six kings, forty-one queens and thirty-
six hundred canonized saints. No one can doubt that the high
qualities of the order have been preserved and perpetuated, if
not improved, by their love for their patron saint and his excel-
lent name. The name has by no means lost its power in our
day. When I desired to be admitted with my wife to visit the
beautiful cloisters of the order attached to that glorious temple
of the living God at Rome, the church of St. Paul without
the walls, some rule, I do not now remember what, excluded
us, but on presenting my card, with the remark that we were
Benedicts, the custodian, with a significant smile, threw open
the door and we entered and gratified our curiosity.

The Abbe de Benedictis, the distinguished secretary of Car-
dinal Mazarin and his agent, and the agent of France at the
court of Rome, made himself famous by his skill and taste in
pomps and funeral honors, by the ceremonies got up by himself
in honor of the cardinal and of the queen of France, of which
full accounts were published. Fourteen popes, scattered all
along from the year 574 to 1740, have taken the name of
Benedict, oti taking the triple crown. In England, the name
was made famous by a noble Saxon abbot, in the year 640 and
afterwards, .who founded two monasteries, and introduced great
improvements in architecture and the polite arts. He too was
canonized. In Denmark, the prodigies of bravery performed
by Benedict, the brother of Canute IV, in defending the king,
his brother, covered the name with honor. The list of eminent
men who have borne the name in some of its forms, in all
Christian countries might be largely extended.

There is no difficulty in finding glory enough for the name
in past ages. It is not so easy, however, to appropriate enough
of that glory to light up the humbler story of those in whose
vdns has run the blood of the Benedicts in America. Nor
would I trace them to those old world saints. The bones of

xii Introduction.

the good old ministers and deacons who lived with affectionate
wives and had goodly sons and daughters not a few, would
hardly lie quiet in their graves if an attempt should be made to
trace for them an irregular descent from the more distinguished
but not more pious or useful Benedict saints of the olden time,
whom rules of celibacy, and vows of monkish seclusion, com-
pelled to solitary sterility.

Ours is the genealogy of a line beginning with the pioneers
of Christian civilization, in the settlement of a new continent,
and, whatever may be their lineage, their lives, in the infant
hamlets of their new home, could not be otherwise than simple
and humble. Many of gentle blood and noble birth, came
with the early settlers and accepted the equality of wilderness
life, but we can make no boast of heraldry. Aside from dim
traditions, traceable to no authentic source, that we are of
Huguenot origin, there is nothing to mark the family history
but the incidents of humble, plebeian life in America.

There is, however,^ coat of arms, with an appropriate Bene-
dict motto, supposed to have been made within the last quarter
of a century, by a traveling Englishman with some heraldic
knowledge and more pretension, and offered for sale by him to
individuals of the family, with a statement that the family is of
Silesian origin, bearing the titles of Count of the Banat and
Baron of the Holy Roman empire, the last German count
Von Benedict having passed, first to France, and then to England,
in the time of Edward the Sixth. This coat of arms, artistically
blazoned with its pairs of ostrich feathers, tied with gold, and its
crests of helmets, and coronets, and plumes, ' is a beautiful
picture, but there is no reason to doubt its being an entire sham,
intended to impose upon the credulous. We will have none
of it except the motto Benedictus qui patitur^ which we make our
own. The sterling virtues of our forefathers, and their excel-
lent example, are our true hereditary distinction. It cannot
be said more truly of us than of the noblest families, that the
full and true genealogy of the family must contain many

Introduction. xiii

obscure and worthless individuals. Let the nobleman of the
highest rank and the longest ancestral line, bring in review
before him all his family, direct and collateral, and he would
behold a motley crowd in that grand procession. Rags and
tatters would be quite as conspicuous as purple and orders^ and
the tools of labor might be more numerous, as well as more
useful, than the sceptres, and batons, and escutcheons of
nobility. Henry the Eighth said : ^^ I can make seven lords
of seven plowmen, but I cannot make one Holbein of seven
lords ; " and Burns has only expanded that idea when he says :

" A king can male* a belted Icnight,

A marquis, duke, and a* that ;
But an honest man *8 aboon his might,

Guid faith he maunna fa that !
For a' that, and a* that.

Their dignities, and a* that,
The pith o* sense and pride o* worth,

Are higher ranks than a' that."

It has been said that one who has no family pride, no regard
for his ancestors, probably never had a grandfather. This is too
strongly expressed, but it is safe to say, that one who has regard
for his ancestors, will be more likely so to conduct himself, and
so to teach his children, by precept as well as by example, that
they may be proud to keep a record of their ancestors. Family
pride is wonderfully conservative and elevating in its influence.
As blood will tell, so character will tell. National, tribal and
fiimily characteristics are but the evidence of transmission of
personal qualities, but they are transmitted as well by precept
and example as by the hereditary flow of the blood. The
fondness for ancestral history, in itself a highly estimable quality,
is one of our &mily traits, as is shown in the history of the
growth of this genealogy. Our first American grandmother,
who walked in all the ordinances of the Lord, blameless, till
she looked over the brow of a hundred years into the happy
land, must not be omitted as the author of the first Benedict
genealogy, and our first teacher of the moral lesson of family

xiv Introduction.

pride. Like an old chronicler, she told the traditionary story of
the family in England, and of its first generation here, to her
grandson James, afterwards one of the seven deacons of the
seven churches, through whom the diaconal succession has come
down, in increasing numbers, through the seven generations ;
sacred number seven. He reduced the tradition to writing,
and in due time it passed from him, by a copy, to his grandson
Abner, then a student in college, and afterwards the first clergy-
man in the family, thence to me his grandson. My inquiries
showed that many copies of it were extant in the original form.

In 1840, while delivering the anniversary discourse before the
alumni of Williams College, I had for a listener Lewis Bene-
dict, an eminent merchant of Albany, who was there to listen
to the orations of his two sons — Lewis on taking his degree
as master of arts, and Edmund A., his degree as bachelor of
arts. He sought an introduction to me for the purpose of
inquiring whether I had any knowledge of the family pedigree,
which he had hithertcP sought in vain. He was furnished with
a copy of the old record, with its additions. To it he added
his own line, and printed a small edition for gratuitous distri-
bution in the family. From him it came into the hands of his
son Henry Marvin. All these parties, before him, had added to
the record as they acquired new information, and he, the final
family historiographer, has sent out in every direction, and
explored all sources of knowledge, and having collected, from
willing sources, all the scattered threads into a manifold cord,
has bound us all in one bundle of fimily life. We need no
better evidence than his correspondence and this book that
honoring our father and our mother is a family characteristic.
Our days as individuals and as a race have been long in the
land — we are long-lived — perhaps in fulfillment of the divine
promise, ^^ to honor thy father and thy mother."

Early sickness took Henry M. from his studies and gave him
years of suffering, and made him an invalid for life, as we are
told in the too brief notice of him. Benedictus qui patitur. We

Introduction. xv

regret the wearisome days and nights of his illness, but we
rejoice that it gave him leisure to become famous in the &mily
as the chronicler and genealogist of the Benedicts in America.

The very ungracious manner in which Col. Nicolls took
New Netherlands from the Dutch, rendered it necessary to select
reliable men for officers of the English military organization,
and the choice of pur first American progenitor Thomas, pater
omnium Benedictorum^ as lieutenant of the foot company of
Jamaica, is perhaps evidence that he had that loyal and military
instinct which has characterized the fiimily.

When the' little train band ^' exercised " on the plains at
Jamaica, we cannot doubt that some of the lieutenant's sons
were in the ranks, while his youngest son Daniel, with other
boys, looked on with childish delight. Ten years later young
Daniel volunteered for the ^^ direful swamp fight.''

In the early days the armies and battles were small, but the
bravery and the victories and the consequences were great.
Hobomak, pointing to Pecksuot, the dead giant savage chief,
whom little Captain Standish had killed in a hand to hand fight,
said to the captain, ^' He said yesterday you were but a little
man, but to-day I see you are big enough to lay him on the
ground." So it was with these few American forefathers, who
sought to introduce civilization and Christianity into a savage
wilderness. They were big enough for their share of the great
enterprize of beginning a nation.

Mr. Robinson, the saintly minister in Holland, when he
heard of the deeds of Standish, thought ^^ perhaps the Captain
was of too warm a temper and wanting in the tenderness of the
life <5f man, made after God's image, and that it would have
been happy if they had converted some before they had killed
any." We are compelled to say that young Daniel fell under
the same condemnation when, leaving his father and brothers at
home to take care of their wives and children, if the Indians
should come upon their little hamlet, he took his life in his hand
and his firelock on his shoulder, and marched with some of his

neighbors to join the little army of one thousand one hundred
and twenty-seven, which, after a march of ten days in the deep,
untrodden, snow of a wilderness, in the severest cold of a
Northern winter, went into that direful swamp fight, almost the
bloodiest of all battles. They, too, seem to have been of a
warm temper, with little tenderness for either their own lives.
or those of the savages. This much is clear, that they left to
the Lord to save such of those merciless Indian savages as His
abundant grace might please, while they addressed themselves,
with singleness of heart, to the more human duty of saving their
scattered little homes and cradles from the war-whoop, the
scalping-knife, and the torch of Indian warfare. Some hundreds
of the whites and more thousands of the Indians fell in the
dreadful slaughter, which destroyed the proud and powerful
Narragansetts.

To-day, two hundred years after that day of small things, we
read with pleasure the record of that little community — popula-
tion two hundred and forty-nine, men, women and children —
that they, ^^out of respect and thankfulnesse to the sayed souldiers
doe with one consent and freely give and grant unto so many
souldiers as were in the service at the direful swamp fight twelve
acors of land.'' Daniel got his twelve acres Feb. i6, 1677.
That land grant in the town was more than one hundred and sixty
acres in the far west now. It was visibly there, a memorial for him
and his children, and his children's children to the latest posterity.

Those who look through this genealogy will see that the
dwellings of our patriotic ancestors were selected by the
public enemy for conflagration, and will find its pages thick,
from the beginning to .the end, with the names of chaplains
and officers and soldiers, who for two hundred years have, at
the call of their country, left the pursuits of peaceful life to
fight the battles of every war, from the swamp fight of King
Philip's war to the multitudinous battles of the greatest civil
war in history, in every war, bleeding on the bloodiest fields
and starving in the most cruel ipxison^.^- Benedictus qui patitur.

Introduction. xvii

It is proper to say something, also, of the ^^ American " character
of the fiimily — its flexibility and its ready resources. It
started here anew. Three generations of only sons were the
last of the race in England, and when Thomas Benedict had
sailed for America, the name was unknown in the British islands.
As he started on a new career he seems, almost to have taken
a new nature, so completely did he take on what has since
become the habits of an American settler, advancing to and
carrying forward the line of national progress, and practically
embracing in his own person the many functions of civil life.
Landing in Massachusetts bay, then a settlement seventeen
years old, he soon sought the more thinly populated region of
Long Island, then comparatively inaccessible from the mainland
in the winter , and he was charged with the powers of a
magistrate, and substantially with the powers of the government —
in the language of the old record, ^^ empowered to act in point
of government," ^^ invested with magistratical power on the
island." He was a pillar in the church. He was the arbitrator
of diiFerences, civilized and savage; the pacifier of the oflfended
Indian chief. He was an officer of the little train band of the
neighborhood. He was the member of the legislative body to
create and to codify the system of law on the island after the
conquest from the Dutch, and afterwards of the colonial legis-
lature. He aided in the organization and sending out of little
colonies to plant new neighborhoods, entrusted with these func-
tions by the voice and choice of his neighbors, \^hose entire
confidence he enjoyed. Every person who has mixed in frontier
life, will readily recall instances of such men, and testify to
their great influence for good. Such was our ancestor ; all sorts
of offices in church and state clustered around him, forced upon
him by the popular choice, and every where he wrought
righteousness. His characteristics are not yet extinct.

The religious character of this history is not its least remark-
able peculiarity. It is well known that the churches of those

days were ecclesiastical democracies. The office of deacon

C

xviii Introduction.

embraced the functions of the elder and deacon in the Presby-
terian churches. In the sickness or absence of the pastor, or a
vacancy in the pastorate, ^^ a deacon's meeting " was the regular
sabbath service of the church, the exercises being conducted by
one or more of the deacons, a sermon being read by a deacon
or perhaps by a layman on the request of the deacons. The
deacons are always chosen by the popular vote of the commu-
nicants, male and female. The highest fitness for the office
comprized intelligence, practical business capacity, and devout
religious feeling, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure con-
science, performing the works of faith with the labor of love.
To fill such an office ^ with good acceptance to God and man
till old age and its attendants rendered them unable to serve,' was
a duty of usefulness and honor, and especially of holy living.
Those patriarchs of our family who have come down to us in
their life and example with the odor of sanctity, let us bear them
in our heart's core, our heart of hearts. The original pair were
evidently most devout and exemplary persons, and it was fitly
said of them by their grandson that they walked in the midst of
their house with a perfect heart and in all the commandments
and ordinances of the Lord blameless and obtained a good report
through faith. Their descendants should not fail to become
familiar with the full and admirable biographical sketch with
which the genealogy opens. The same character went down
to the next generation unimpaired, and the unction with which
Capt. James Benedict in 1755 speaks of the first three genera-
tions, including his own, shows that the lessons of his grand-
parents had not fallen on unwilling ears, and that their devout
life and holy example had left its impress on all those who came
within the sphere of their influence. It is plain that the religious
character of this primitive pilgrim pair had struck in and was
incorporated into the family nature, and so we find, through all
the subsequent ages, members, deacons, and pastors of churches
spread through all the family — yet not running in one narrow^
bigoted and sectarian line of faith and practice, but with true

Introduction. xix

evangelical fraternity, branching out into the leading denomina-
tions of Christians.

It should be said, finally, that no comparison is made of our
femily with other families. Our ancestors did not live or work
alone. Hundreds of similar genealogies might be made, and
many, doubtless, of more striking character than this. As aids
to national and local as well as individual history, our libraries
ought to be filled with such genealogies of all those primitive^
families, that by their excellent qualities, made possible that
Christian civilization, on popular principles, which underlies our
national prosperity, and which was the more remarkable, as
these people sprang from monarchical stock, and many of them
were of noble blood. The interfusion and assimilation of all
classes and ranks was complete, which would hardly have been
possible, had it not been that the religious faith and sympathies
of the earliest settlers, made the theocracy and republican
equality of the early Hebrew commonwealth the cement of
their association, the laws of Moses their su£5icient code of
elementary moral law, and liberty, equality and fraternity the
necessary result of their common perils, and their one great
purpose.

May we not hope that the striking lessons taught by this
£imily record will be impressed upon all of us, so that two hundred
and fifty years hence, when eight more generations shall have
passed away, the family may still show an unbroken record of
the same characteristics.

|MONG those Englishmen who went into voluntary
exile, rather than endure the cruelties and oppres-
sions of Stuarts in the State and Lauds in the
Church, was Thomas Benedict, of Nottingham-
shire. There is reason to suppose that his own remote ancestor
had made England his refuge from religious persecution on the
Continent. There was a tradition in his family which ran, that
anciently they resided in the silk manufacturing district of
France and were of Latin origin ; that. Huguenot persecutions
arising, they fled to Germany, and, thence, by way of Holland
to England. It is said of Thomas Benedict, that he was born
in 1617 ; that he was an only son, that the name had been con-
fined to only sons in the family for more than a hundred years ;
and that, at the time he left England, he did not know of another
living person of the name ; whence, it is assumed, that his father
was not living. "*" His mother he had lost early, his father mar-

2 Thomas Benedict

Bridgum, came to New England in 1638, in the same vessel
with Thomas, then in his twenty-first year. Soon after their
arrival they were married, and finding the society and institu-
tions of Massachusetts Bay congenial, they resided in that
colony for a time. These facts in the history of Thomas Bene-
dict are verified by the testimony of Mary Bridgum herself,
who lived to the age of one hundred years, and in her life- time
communicated them to her grandson. Deacon James Benedict,
of Ridgefield, Conn., who recorded them in 1755."^

* " Be it remembered that one William Benedict, about the beginning of the 1 5th
century,'^ who lived in Nottinghamshire, in England, had a son born unto him whom
he caUed William, after his own name (an only son) ; and this William, the 2d of
that name, had also an only son whom he called William ; and this 3d William had
in the year 161 7 one only child whom he called Thomas; and thu Thomases mother
dying, his father married the widow Bridgum.

Now this Thomas was put out an apprentice to a weaver, who afterwards, in the
2ist year of his age, came over into New-England, together with his sister-in-law,
Mary Bridgum. Afterwards said Thomas was joined in marriage with Mary Bridgum.
After they had lived some time in the Bay parts, they removed to Southhold on Long
Island, where were born unto them five sons and four daughters, whose names were
Thomas, John, Samuel, James, Daniel, Betty, Mary, Sarah and Rebeccah. From
thence they removed to a farm belonging to the town, called Hassamamac, where
they lived some time. From thence they removed to Huntingtown, where they lived
some years. Then they removed to Jamaica on said Island, where Thomas, their
eldest son took to wife Mary Messenger, of that town. And last of all, they removed
to Norwalk, in Fairfield county, Connecticut, with all their family, where they were
all married. John took to wife Phebe, daughter to Mr. John Gregory, of said Nor-
walk. Samuel took to wife Rebecca Andrews. James took to wife Sarah Gregory,
sister of the above said Phebe. Dznicl took to wife Mary Marvin. Their daughters
were all married. Betty to John Slawson, of Stanford ; Mary to John Olmsted ;
Sarah to Jaiffes Beebe ; Rebeccah to Samuel Wood. From these have risen a nu-
merous offspring.

The children of Thomas, the 2d of that name, were Thomas (an onlyi^son), Mary,
Hannah, Esther, Abigail and Elizabeth. The children of John were Sarah, Phebe,
John, Jonathan, Benjamin, Joseph, James, Mary and Thomas. The children of
Samuel were Joannah, Samuel, Thomas, Rebeccah, Esther, Nathaniel and Abraham.
The children of James were Sarah, Rebeccah, Phebe, James, John, Thomas and
Elisabeth. The children of Daniel were Mary, Daniel, Mercy and Hannah. The
children of Betty were Mary and Thomas. The children of Mary were John, Mary,
Jane, Sarah, Rebeccah, Elisabeth, Daniel, Richard, Eunice and Deborah. The
children of Rebeccah were an infant (I know not his name), and Samuel. The

The First Settler. 3

The separate colonies, which afterward formed that of Con-
necticut, had been founded under auspices peculiarly hopeful,
and were nourished by influences specially edifying and elevating
in the view of the more austere of the Puritans. The founda-
tions and expanding superstructures were according to the plans
and specifications of Winthrop, of Haynes, and, especially, of
Hooker, "the light of the Western churches." The valley of
the Connecticut, too, was famous for its fertility, and the stream
wa$ considered a principal natural channel for the lucrative trade
in furs with the natives of the interior. It had waged its first
Indian war with a vigor and severity which precluded all present
dread of another. Thomas Benedict seems to have been so far
attracted J>y the moral or material advantages of this promising

children of Sarah were Sarah and James. All of these were the children and grand-
children of our honoured predecessors, Thomas Benedict and Mary his wife, * who
walked in the midst of their house with a perfect heart. They were strict observers
of the Lord*s day from even to even ; * and I think it may be said of them, as it was
of Zacharias and £lisabeth, ^ that they walked in all the commandments and ordi-
nances of the Lord blameless, and obtained a good report through laith.** Their
excellent example had a good effect, by the blessing of heaven, upon their children.
He was made a deacon of the church at Norwalk, and used that office to the good
satisfaction of that church to his death, which was in the 73d year of hu age ; and
two of his sons, viz : John and Samuel, used the office undl old age and its attend-
ants rendered them unable to serve any longer. And there are, at this day no less
than seven of the family and name that use that office, and some of them at least,
I hope, to good acceptance with God and man.

The children of John, the 2d of that name, were John, Matthew, Caleb, Nathan-
iel, Annah and Phebe. The children of Benjamin were Benjamin, Timothy, John,
Samuel, Daniel, Amos, Elisabeth, Mary, Rachael and Thankful. The children of
Joseph were Joseph, Gideon, Anna, Pitmln, Jonathan, Mary, Ezra and John. The
children of James were Sarah, Ruth, Peter, Hannah, Phebe, James, Martha and John
and Thomas. The children of Thomas were Ebenezer, David, John, Thomas,
Betty and Seth. The children of Phebe were Enos, William, Noah, a son and
Phebe. The children of Mary were Ezra, Josiah, Phebe, Asa and Isaac. AU these
were the grand-children of Deacon John Benedict, the ist of that name, who was
my honoured father.

region as to have removed within its rigorous jurisdiction, still,
it could scarcely have been the rich meadows of the valley, or
the facilities for traffic afforded by its river, that enticed him, for
he soon sought the opposite shore of Long Island, already dotted
with settlements from the mainland. In the statement of his
wife, Mary Bridgum, to her grandson, before referred to, she
names Southold as his place of residence and birthplace of their
five sons and four daughters. It is certain, that in June, 1657,
he was a resident of Huntington, which leaves but little doubt
that he was, early, an inhabitant of Southold, which was settled
in 1640. In conjunction with three others, in 1649,* he pur-
chased a tract of land belonging to the town of Southold, called
Hashamomack, and this interest he conveyed, in 1659, describ-
ing himself in the deed as then of the town of Hunting-

Ha$hdmommuck Beath and Plantation,

** Examine Chase*s Map of Saffolk County7 N. Y., and you may see a Small body
of water marked just north west of the northwest point of Shelter Island and almost
connecting Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound. The only separation is a level flat
of Sand and Shingle, a few rods wide, and perhaps twenty long, partially covered with
sedgy vegetation. Across this flat the Amous Guilford expedition drew their whale
boats when they made their successful descent upon the British post and stores at Sag
Harbor. This flat is Hashamommuck Beach. The Small body of water is now
generally called Mill Creek, a tide-mill to grind grain having been built upon it many
yean ago, and one is still in use near the old site. The proprietor of this mill some
six or eight years since cut a canal firom the Sound to the creek and thus poured the
water of the Sound across Hashamommuck Beach into the creek, to give him more
water and a higher head for his mill. But the action of the Sound soon closed the
Canal with sand, as all intelligent persons predicted. This creek was formerly
Thomas Benedict's, and in the oldest records of Southold is ^miliarly called Thomas's
Creek and then for convenience it became Thom's Creek and even Tom's Creek.
I have heard it called Tom's Creek - even in my da^. The Creek is* a few rods
more than two miles east of the First Church of Southold. It is just two miles
east of the Southold station of the Long Island Rail Road. Hashamommuck is
about a square mile directly east of this Creek."

of his old neighbor, William Salmon of Hashamomuck.f His
connection with affairs of a public nature may be inferred from

solicited to receive the town of Huntington into the jurisdiction

Nichols.* This change of jurisdiction was especially welcome
to the English settlers, whose encroachments on the western
end of the Island had kept them in a state of embroilment with
the Dutch, and even inspired them with ideas of colonizing
beyond the limits of their own territory. Sept. 26, 1664,
Thomas Benedict, with John Bailey, Daniel Denton and others,
^^ made a written application to Col. Nichols for liberty to settle
a plantation upon the river called Arthur Cull Bay," in New
Jersey. On the 30th of the same month, the Governor granted
the petition and promised encouragement. The place is now
Elizabeth City. The principal petitioners were in Jamaica, in
1665. It is, therefore, to be presumed that they sent out a

colony.f

Governor Nichols issued, ^^ To the magistrates of the several
tounes upon Long-island," an order, dated ^^ James ffort, in New
York, 8^ February, 1665," reciting, that the inhabitants had
for a long ^time groaned under many grievous inconveniences
and discouragements, occasioned partly from their opposition to
a foreign power, in which distracted condition few or no laws
could be put in due execution ; bounds and titles to lands were
disputed, civil liberties interrupted, and from this general con-

The £ict that, in this same year, he is recorded as having
been chosen town clerk of Norwalk, Ct., gives color to the
supposition that some confusion of dates was occasioned about
this time by the introduction, into the possessions acquired from
the Dutch, of the style in use in England, then, aiid for many
years afterward, and also from the practice of double dating.
A flight to the jurisdiction of New England, from that of New
York, whose governor must have seemed a lineal representative
of the persecutors who had driven the Puritans from the mother
country, would not be a surprising thing in the case of any of
that people. In that of Thomas Benedict it was a most natural
result. Honored, and to some extent, trusted, as he had
been by both Dutch and English governors of New York, it is
beyond controversy that his heart had always been with the
government of Connecticut, and that he was the especial enemy
of Captain John Scott and his party ; for ^^ the killing and
quelling" of whom he had, indeed, in 1663, invoked the
authority of Connecticut. It is not improbable that after the
supremacy of the English had been fully established in the west
end of Long Island, Thomas Benedict, and others of like
principles, found themselves, socially at least, in a condition not
unlike that of the Union men in the south after the Civil War,
and could but regard the territory as an excellent one to migrate
from. At this time he had a numerous family, one of his sons

was married and settled near him ; still he took to Norwalk with
him all in whose veins his blood ran. Others, who shared his
religious and political proclivities, betook themselves to Con-
necticut, at the same time, and, doubtless, for the same reasons.*
He must have been a welcome addition to the society of Nor-
walk, to cause its -people to make such haste to elevate him to
official station ; nor was it a spasmodic appreciation of him
merely, for, in the following year, he was not only reappointed
to that office, but was, also, made a Selectman of the town.
He was continued Town Clerk until 1674 ; and, after an inter-
val of three years, was again appointed. The records, in his
own handwriting, are still preserved, are legible and properly
attested by his own signature. His term of service as Selectman
covers seventeen years, closing with 1688. His name is one of
forty-two who comprised the list of Freemen in 1669. He was
the representative of Norwalk in the General Assembly in 1670,
and again in 1675. In the Patent, granted by the General
Court in 1686, confirming the title of Norwalk to its territory,
his name" is inserted as a patentee. In May, 1684, the General
Court appointed him and three others to plant a town ^^ above
Norwalke or Fayrefeild," at Paquiage f ; and in the £ill of that

year and the spring of 1685, Samuel and James, sons of Thomas,
and six others, with their families, settled there y the land hav-
ing been purchased from the Indians. The parties mo^t inter-
ested asked that their settlement might be named ^ Swamfeild " ;
but, in 1687, the General Court denied their request and called
it Danburjr.*

Beside the service of these more conspicuous appointments,
be rendered much to his friends jn a non-official and neighborly
way. His good sense and general intelligence, some scientific
knowledge and his skill as a penman, made him their recourse
when papers were to be drafted, lands to be surveyed and ap-
portioned, or disputes to be arbitrated. It is evident that very
general respect for his judgment prevailed, and that trust in his
integrity was equally general and implicit.

Little has been said of Thomas Benedict's labors in that other
department, which, in view of the character and mental habitudes
of the communities, at the time he dwelt among them, were of
public importance, and, perhaps, in the popular estimation far
transcended in value his civil services, that of ecclesiastical
aiiaurs. No extended account of them will be given now, see-
ing that it is impossible to make them of much interest to the
people of this day. The early church records, both of South-
old and Huntington, *are not now to be found ; but the position
he held among the citizens of both make it highly probable, that
he was concerned in establishing the first church in each.

preserved, they furnish abundant evidence of his zeal and dili-

gence in establishing and maintaining the public worship of God.
Whether it was settling or supporting a minister, repairing the
church pdifice or building a new one, providing seiats or allotting
them, Thomas Benedict's name is almost certain to appear on
the records in connection with it. He is identified with the
founding of the first Presbyterian church in America, at Jamaica,
in 1662 ; and during the term of his residence there, he was of
the committee to make the rate and provide the means to sup-
port its minister. '*' In Norwalk, he was chosen Deacon, and
held the office during his life.

No record can be found that indicates the day of his death \
one, of his Will, is extant, which states that Jie was ^^ weak of
body 5 " " aged aboute 73 years ; *' and that his Will was ex-
ecuted the '^ eight and twentieth feb.r. ano dominy 1689-90."
An Inventory of his Estate, in which he is described as ^^ late
deceased," was taken on the 18^** of March in the same year;

'R- " December y« 20th 1662. A town meeting called : The town haye voted and
concluded and agreed upon y< these five namely Mr. Coe, Goodman Benedick, Good-

'* Feb. 14th, 1663. It is voted by y« town yt Mr Coe and Goodman Benedick and

''March y« 2d, 1663. The freeholders of the town, 24 in number, including
' Thomas Benedick * gave to Rev. Zechariah Walker their ' minester * the use of a
house and a home lot, to be his in ^-simple if he remained as minister of the town,
or if they should so act as to be the cause of his going away. Mr. Walker's salary
was £60 per annum, and Dr. McDonald remarks : "In raising this generous sup-
port, BO much beyond what many infant churches at the present day, especially in
new settlements, feel themselves able to do, every inhabitant contributed his due pro-
portion.** t

ployment of a public nature. Until his settlement at Norwalk,
when he was nearly fifty years old, no one place appears to have
held him long ; and it is a remarkable thing that these changes
of abode, each of which must have made him a new comer,
never prevented his immediate preferment either in church or
state affairs. It would be only reasonable to infer, that the
alacrity with which he was honored and trusted, under the cir-
cumstances, was due to his established character for prudence
and ability. The action of the General Court, whenever his
name came before it, shows that he was known and esteemed
by the authorities of the main land \ indeed it is apparent from
cotemporaneous events that he was a main support of the cause
of Connecticut on Long Island. That he was a man of

realize them, it proved by his persistence in schemes designed to
increase the power and expand the jurisdiction of the common-
wealth he loved. The four &milies found by Carteret, at
Elizabethtown, were the pioneers of the Jamaica colony, of
which he was one of the projectors. His connection with the
founding of Danbury has been stated. Traces of other plans
for colonizing are visible yet, but the event of them is not."*"
They were, of course, less successful than those mentioned ;
but they serve to show his zeal and enterprise in that direction.
The holder of military commissions, in so unquiet a time, it
might naturally be expected that some feats of arms would
illustrate the annals of his life. Nothing appears to satisfy such
an expectation, reasonable as it may be ; and, probably, for the
reason that no occasion for service of that sort arose, at the
times and places, when and where, he held military rank. If,
however, the training of his children may be regarded as an
indication, it is entirely certain, that he did not fail to educate
them to the high duty of fighting for their country. His &mily
participated in the Indian wars of the time, and one was promi-
nent in perhaps the most bloody struggle of all. His son,
Daniel, in 1677, received a grant of land, from the town of
Norwalk, for his services in ^^ the direful swamp fight " of Dec.
19, i675.t By this mournful and expressive title, bereaved
New England was accustomed to identify the memorable expe-
dition against the Narragansetts, which, however disastrous to
the savages, filled the whole country with woe and lamentation.
His posterity have never shown themselves derelict in respect

either to loyalty or bravery. The public enemy has ever been
their enemy ; the muster rolls of every army ever raised to
defend the country, or to achieve or maintain its independence,
abound with their names ; and none more so than those of the
last and greatest of all American armies ; the army, whose loy-
alty, patriotism, bravery and patience, saved the cause of Liberty
and Civilization, first for their countrymen, and scarcely less,
for the rest of mankind.

It is to be regretted that few or no details of the social or
domestic life, no personal traits, no characteristic incidents, of
himself or wife have come down to us. During the term of
their migrations, with so numerous family, the household cares
and duties must have been especially burdensome and perplex-
ing to the wife and mother. It was within^this period, too, that
the character and habits of their children were, mainly, formed ;
for at the time they ceased to wander and sat down in Norwalk,
their eldest born was twenty-five years old, and married, and
their youngest must have been eight years old at least. The
fruits of their culture and discipline, under circumstances certainly
not favorable, are conspicuous enough, in the character and lives
of their children, and childrens* children ; and prove him to have
been a wise and prudent father, and her a judicious and faithful
mother. The love which united them at the beginning kept
them united to the end ; and his Will, probably one of the last
acts of his life, is full of evidences of thoughtful afiection for
his wife ; his great concern seeming to have been to secure her
comfort when he should be able to provide for it no longer.
Their grandson. Deacon James Benedict, of Ridgefield, is the
only one of their posterity, who, speaking from actual know-
ledge, furnishes even a glimpse of this interesting couple. He
says : ^^ they walked in the midst of their house with a perfect
heart. They were strict observers of the Lords day 'from even
to even' ; and I think it may be said of them, as it was of Zach-
arias and Elizabeth, that ' they walked in all the commandments
and ordinances of the Lord blameless, and obtained a good re-

port through faith.' This excellent example had a good effect,
by the blessing of heaven, upon their children. He was made a
Deacon of the church at Norwalk, and used that office to the
good satisfaction of that church to his death, which was in the
73*^ year of his age ; and two of his sons, viz : John and Samuel,
used the office until old age and its attendants rendered them
unable to serve any longer. And there are at this day [1755]
no less than seven of the family and name that use that office,
and some of them at least, I hope, to good acceptance with God
and man." This proclivity toward deaconship continued in the
fiunily ; for, as late as 185 1, another of his descendants. Rev.
Dr. Nathaniel Bouton, in an Historical Discourse pronounced by
him, July 9^ of that year, on occasion of the two hundredth
anniversary of the settlement of Norwalk, closes a tribute to
the memory of his ancestor thus : ^^ The savor of his piety, as
well as his venerable name, has been transmitted through a long
line of deacons and other godly descendants, to the seventh
generation.'*

town by the British. He (Mr. B.) says they came Saturday,
while the people were harvesting. Our soldiers collected fast,
and stopped to drink wine on the stoop of his father's house.
The family packed up their goods hastily, and took refuge that
night at Belden's Hill. A party of light horse came in the
night, and in the morning they saw the smoke rising from Nor-
walk. The house where Mr. B. lived (1847) ^^ ^^^^ ^'^
hospital by the British, was set on fire when the retreat com-
menced, but the people rallied and saved it from the flames.
Mrs. Benedict, who lived at Roton river, saw the fleet coming
from Long Island. She remembered that one night her mother
courageously gave the alarm when the tories were stealing the

Henry<^ Gregory, of Boston, N. £., whom we find mentioned in the foregoing pedi-
gree, was at Springfield 1639, and removed in a few years to Stratford, Ct. Savage
says that he probably died soon after, as a distribution of his estate was ordered 19
June, 1665, his eldest son John being appointed administrator, and to receive double
portion, and that no other children are mentioned ; though perhaps Judah Gregory of
Springfield, who m. 1643, Sarah, dau. of Henry Burt, was another son. John
Gregory, of New Haven, and afterwards of Norwalk, Ct., was possibly the adminis-
trator above refirrred to ; he had Joseph, bapt. 26 July, 1 646 ; Thomas, 1 9 March,
1 648 ; his other children and their issue are mentioned by Savage, and by Hall in his
history of Norwalk; of his daus. [Phcebe and Sarah], m. into the family of Thomas
Benedict, of Southold, L. L, and afterwards of Norwalk, who came out at the age of
ai about 1 639, and was said to be the only son of Wm. Benedict of Nottingham-
shire. N. E. Hist, and Gtn, Reg,^ vol. XXIII, pp. 304-7.

Thomas Benedict was a witness to will of John Gregory of Norwalk, Ct., made
Aug. 15, 1689. He bequeathed his estate to his wife Sarah. John and James
Benedict (sons of Thomas) are mentioned as sons-in-law. Sarah also, in an instru-
ment, dated Oct. 9, 1689, so names them. Proh. Ree. (Fairfield), vol. 3.

ments in the town. He was occupied, however, mainly, with
church affairs, having become Deacon, probably, upon the death
of his father. Thenceforth the records show him to have been
constantly on conimittees having charge of the religious and
educational interests of the community, now ^^ obtaining a
minister," then, '*hyering a schoolmaster." In 1705 the
church honored him by voting him a sitting '^ in y* seat before
y' pulpit." He gerved as representative in the General As-
sembly in the sessions of 1722 and 1725. The date of his
death is not to be ascertained, nor is that of his wife. The
volume of probate records, which probably covered the time
within which they died, unfortunately, is missing. He conveyed
property to his sons James and Joseph of Ridgefield, in 1722
and 1723; and that he was living in 1727, is thought to be
certain, because his son is then referred to as Deacon John
Benedict Junior. (See Hall^ pp. 83, 88, 93, loo, 102 ; and

of Norwalk purchased a large tract of land between that town
and Danbury.. The purchase was made of Catoonah the chief
sachem, and other Indians, who were the proprietors of that
part of the country. Deed bears date Sept. 30, 1708. At
the Norwalk town session, 1709, it was ordained that it should
be a distinct township by the name of Ridgefield.'* {Trumbull^
p. 460). James was also one of the original settlers of this
township. Fence- viewer in 17 15, called Ensign, 17 19, after-
wards Captain, and, 1737, Esquire. He was appointed jus-
tice of the peace for Fairfield county, Ct., May, 1732, and was
reappointed annually until 1733. He was representative for
Ridgefield, from May, 1740-45, and 1 748-1 752. He was the
first to write the genealogy of the Benedict family. In his youth
he lived with his grandmother, Mary Bridgum, wife of Thomas,

52 Descendants of

and she delivered to him, from her own mouth, the genealogy
down to his own memory, and he reduced it to writing. His
Genealogy of the Family of the Benedicts^ dated March 14, 1755,
has been the foundation of all the subsequent ones. His grand-
son, Abner Benedict, a member of the junior class in Yale
College, made an exact copy of it, June 23,. 1768. James
was the second Deacon of the church in Ridgefield, till old age
and its attendants rendered him unable to serve. He sustained
the character of a pious and exemplary Christian. His death
occurred Nov. 25, 1762. The following inscription is on his
gravestone in Ridgefield.

m. 1705, Millison, dau. Thomas and Mary Hyatt of that town.
Thomas Hyatt was active and brave enough in the Indian wars
of his time to incite the town to make to him a grant of land as a
testimonial of its gratitude, and a requital of his services. Mil-
lison, b. Dec, 1686, was twin-sister of Sarah, who became the

John Benedict. 53

wife of Dea. James' (5) Benedict of Ridgefield. Thomas ap-
pears to have possessed a strong desire for military distinction,
together with so much aptitude for affairs of that character, that
during his whole life, he was never without some military rank.
He comes before us as " Sergeant," in 1713 ; as " Ensign," in
1724; as "Lieutenant," in 1742, and as "Captain," in 1746;
this latter title adhering to him for the rest of his life. It is
very evident, however, that civil position was not distasteful to
him ; for he was chosen selectman not less than seven times,
and moderator of the annual town meetings at least ten times ;
the last occasion being the year preceding his death. He was
representative in the General Assembly, probably in 1737 and
1740, and certainly in 1744. He exhibited the family tendency
to do service in the church. Dec. 2, 1724, the town desires
him " to sett y^ tune to y' Psalme, at such times as that part of
service is to be performed in y^ publik worship of God ; and to
read y^ Psalmes needed \ y^ town, also Seat y^ said Bennedick
in y* 3** long seat at y* end of y* middle alley." The power of
his voice must have been something remarkable, for it is stated
on credible authority that he could be heard and understood at
the distance of more than a mile. It is probable he was a Dea-
con of the church (Congregational) of which he and his wife
were members (1725), but the loss of the church records pre-
vents certain knowledge on this point. His will bears date May
20, 1763, and was proved July 5, 1763.* He died, of course.

His house and barn were burned by the British in 1779. The
followinjg obituary notice of him was written by Hon. Roger
Minot Sherman : '^ He died at Norwalk on the morning of
the 2d of April, 1806, after a shock of the palsy, with which
he lingered about twelve days, in the 90th year of his age. On
the 3d his remains were followed to the grave by a large con-
course of friends and relatives, among whom were his twelve(?)
surviving children, and many of his more remote posterity.
He has left ninety-one grandchildren and eighty-eight great-
grandchildren, the whole number of his descendants, now liv-
ing, being 191. For about thirty-two years he sustained the
office of Deacon of the First Congregational church in that
town. Deacon Benedict was one of those venerable person-
ages by whom what remains of the pious habits of our fore-
&thers, have been transmitted to the present generation. His
long life has been eminently exemplary, and years to come will
feel its happy influence. Every morning and evening witnessed
his devotion. His sabbaths were faithfully appropriated to
public worship and religious family instructions. An amiable,
cheerful disposition, a sound mind, improved by a good degree

don to those around her, and that she was constantly teaching
her neighbors to read and write." In 1776. when Gen. Howe
advanced northward from New York, she mounted her horse, and
with other heroic women, followed the army and witnessed the
battle of White Plains." Joseph^ lived near the " neutral ground,"
and had in his employ one David Williams, who, when not en-
gaged in military service (the whigs who encountered the " Cow-
boys " in their excursions into the country were generally in the
roilida service on short enlistments), made the house of his em-
ployer his welcome home. Thus it happened that Williams was
enjoying an agreeable tete-h-tete with Nancy Benedict, in the fall
of 1 780, when she pointed out to him a small company of armed
men approaching their village. They entered an inn near by,
and Williams, having recognized Isaac Van Wart, John Paulding
and others, they set out together for Tarrytown ; the especial
object of Williams being to reclaim the property of a neighbor.

the widow Pelham, or avenge the death of her husband, killed
the night before by a party of Cow-boys. Al Tarryiown, Wil-
liams, Paulding and his cousin Van Wart separated from their
companions, taking the east road, at an angle of which they con-
cealed themseh'es, obtaining a north and west view of it for some
distance. The approach of Major Andrd, his arrest, etc., fol-
lowed. Congress having granted Williams, Nov. 3, 1780, a
medal, a yearly annuity of $200, in specie, or an equivalent in
current money, during life ; also, the privilege of locating any
confiscated lands in the county of Westchester, to the value of
$1,250, or of receiving the said sum in cash, he married Nancy
Benedict, and with the $1^250 bought a part of the farm owned
by his father-in-law and settled upon it, erecting a log cabin to
to live in." ***** In the fall of 1 830, he visited the city
of New York on the invitation of the corporation, to be present
as a guest at the celebration of the French Revolution. Here he
' received all manner of attentions, and was presented with a silver-
cup, a silver-headed cane, an elegant horse, carriage and harness.
He died at Broome, Schoharie Co., Aug. 2, 1831. After her
husband had been dead ten years, Mrs. Williams obtained a con-
tinuance of his pension, which had been stopped at his death,
receiving $2,000 at once.** She d. about 1 848, in her pzd year.

having been violated by one Benjamin Hough, he was selected
with John Sawyer to carry out in part the sentence of the Com-
mittee of Safety, passed after trial upon said Hough. The
judgment was " that the prisoner be taken from the bar of this
Com. of Safety and tied to a tree, and there on his naked back
to receive two hundred stripes ; his back being dressed, he should
depart out of the district, and on return to suff*er death, unless
by sp<;cial leave of the convention. Hough was tied by Ethan
Allen to an apple tree and whipped, the act being witnessed by
many of the inhabitants.** The instrument of punishment was
termed the " beach seal/* in allusion to the great seal of New
Hampshire affixed to the grants made by the governor of that
province, of which the beacb rod well laid on the naked backs
of the *' Yorkers " and their adherents, was humorously con-
sidered a confirmation. Enjoying as we do the protection of
just and equal laws, it is difficult to form a proper estimate of
such measures. There was no choice left to the N. H. grantees
between an entire surrender of their farms rescued from the
the wilderness of nature, and made valuable by their industry,
and a determined and persevering resistance by force. Up to
Jan. 26, 1775, vhen Hough was whipped, no division of senti-
ment with regard to matters of public policy had taken place ;
and it is significant that Arlington was not represented in any of
the convendons of the different towns of Vermont that met to
confer upon the Declaration of Independence and other subjects.
Her leading men were not prepared for measures so decisive ;
they had suffered much from New York, but it would have been
difficult for them to specify wherein the king had harmed them.
The king had given them their farms for a nominal price, had
provided reasonably for their religious and secular instruction ;
in the words of one of them who suffered the loss of all things
for his loyalty, " they did not think it right to rebel against a
king who had done them no harm.*' Possibly this feeling and
the obligation resting upon churchmen to aid the head of the
church — so well known to have influenced great numbers at
this trying period, led Abel Benedict to join the Royalist army.
He was killed at the battle of Bennington, Aug. 16, 1777.

Salem, then a small settlement on the borders of Ct. Aug. 20,
1779, there was a meeting of church members residing in Upper
Salem, Cortland's Manor, and other places adjacent, to consult
as to the expediency of organizing a church. Peter Benedict
was chosen moderator of the meeting. Peter Ferris, the hus-
band of his dau. Hannah, was also present. On the 25th of
the same month a church was organized, and Mr. Benedict was
chosen Deacon. His two sons, Joel and Abner, were the first
pastors of that little flock. His sons were all men of education.
Abner grad. Yale college, and Joel, Nassau Hall. Peter entered
Yale, but did not graduate, leaving to join the army, the family
all being ardent whigs. He d. in 1787, aged 73. His wife d.
in 1802, aged 88. A short time before his death he wrote a
brief paper of exhortation to all his children of a most affection-
ate and devotional character, closing with his prayerful blessing,
which is evidence of his real character and of the light that shone
on his declining years : ^^ Oh ! Thou most blessed Being, Thou
sovereign Disposer of Thine own mercies and blessings, I beseech
Thee to bless these instructions, and bless my offspring to the
latest posterity. And bless this society, and most gracious
Sovereign bless this church, this little flock. Build it up in faith,
love and kindness. And, oh ! Thou Great Head of the Uni-

Farms, Ct. ; m. id, Jemima j became a member of the

Baptist church, Stamford, Ct., and was licensed by that church
to preach the Gospel. Having received a call to become pastor
of the church at the new settlement of Warwick, Orange Co.,
N. Y., he removed to that place, and was ordained Nov. 17,
1766. Some time during the troubles of the war of the Revo-
lution, he removed to Wyoming, Pa., and was, with his family,
among the sufferers from the fearful massacre of the inhabitants
of that place by the tories and Indians under the notorious
Brandt. His influence and character as a preacher with the
Indians, protected himself and family from personal injury at
their hands, but his property was mostly lost or destroyed.
After suffering great hardships he returned to the town of War-
wick in the year 1777) where he resided until his death, Sept.
9, 1792. His wife died some time previously, and he had m. 3d,
wid. Bross, who survived him, but of this third marriage there
was no issue. His remains, and those of his first wife, rest in
the old Baptist burying-ground near the village of Warwick,
but no monument marks their graves. Their descendants form
a numerous and highly respected portion of the citizens of
Orange county. The memory of the " old Elder," as he is
familiarly spoken of, is held in great esteem and veneration by
the community at large, as well as by the church of which he
was paBtor. The following is an extract from its records:
*^ Those who knew him, and yet survive, hold his memory in

^^ that his mother meant him for the gown, but he chose another
dress." Mr. S. G. Goodrich, in his Recollections (p. 223), thus
presents the portrait of Deacon John Benedict : ^^ He was a
worthy old man, and enjoyed many claims to respect. He was
not only a Deacon, but a justice of the peace, and respected the
law, especially as it was administered in his own person. He
was severe upon those who violated the statutes of the state,
but one who violated the statutes of Deacon John Benedict,
committed the unpardonable sin. He was the entire police of
the meeting-house on Sfunday, and not a boy or girl, or even a
bumble bee, could offend, without condign punishment." He

removed to So. Salem before 1776, and finally settled at Patter-

member of the Presb. church, and held the office of Deacon
for many years. During the Revolutionary War he performed
considerable service in the American army. He served at
least one enlistment in the Continental army, in the campaign
of 1777, on the northern frontier; but the most of his service
was rendered in the county of his residence (Westchester).
Living near what was then called the ^ lines,' or ^neutral
ground' between the British army in N. Y. city, and the
American armies in the interior, they were constantly in danger
from the raids of the British army, and the depredations of
* Cow-boys,' as they were called. He belonged to a company
of organized militia, called ^ minute-men,' who were obliged to
be in readiness to march at a moment's notice, and in this
capacity did much service. He was a member of the guard
over Major Andrd, during a portion of the time of his con-
finement, trial and execution." He was appointed Ensign,

he removed to New Canaan and settled upon a farm which he
cultivated with his own hands for sixty years. For some time
he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (pensioner) ; held
several public offices in the community ; for fifty-nine years a
member of the Cong, church, and an efficient Deacon in the
same for thirty-six years. He possessed great meekness and
gentleness of disposition. His deep interest in the wel&re of
his country, and in all that appertained to the prosperity of the
cause of the Redeemer, led him to make willing contributions,
both of his money and services, to the cause of Christian
benevolence. The poor found in him a steadfast friend, and to
the church he was both an ornament and pillar. Both his cor-
poreal and mental powers remained unimpaired till almost the
close of his honorable and useful life, and his end was peace.
He d. May 17, 1840, in his 90th year, having reached exactly
the age of both his father and grandfather. An appropriate dis-
course was delivered upon the occasion of his funeral, by his
pastor, Rev. Theophilus Smith, from Gen. xxxv, 29. ^ And

brother Isaac, on a tour of exploration and inquiry to central
New York, then the " far west," and was so well pleased with
Clinton, Oneida Co., that in the following spring he fixed upon
that town as a place of settlement. He was a carpenter, and
erected many of the best houses in the village of Clinton. In

1812 he removed to Lennox, and opened a public house in that
part of the town known as Quality Hill. At the close of the
• war he returned to Clinton, and was employed for two years as
college steward, keeping ' commons ' in the building now used for
the mineralogical cabinet. He made a profession of religion in
1820, and was chosen Deacon in 1844 (Cong, church). He
was active and efficient in all matters which concerned the wel-
fare of the church and the community. He was a diligent
teacher in the sabbath-school, and liberal in his gifts to objects
of philanthropy and benevolence. He was not a man of many
words, but his testimony was never wanting on the side of virtue
and religion. Deacon Benedict continued his habits of activity
up to old age. He d. Aug. 7, 1868, aged 92 years, 6 months
and 3 days. Mrs. Benedict, his 2d wife, was a valued and
faithful member of the church. With a discreet and reliable
judgment, and firmness and energy of purpose, she blended a con-
ciliatory deportment, prudence, and pracucal wisdom. Of
great equanimity and uniformity of temper and disposition, she
was eminently fitted to be useful. These qualities were sancti-
fied and consecrated by divine grace. She died in the exercise
of an humble faith, after a long and tedious illness."

great mildness and gentleness of character. Her piety was of a
cheerful cast, lightening every burden of life, sustaining the heart
under trial, sanctifying affliction and rendering the future ever
bright and joyous through the power of divine faith and love.
• • • It was in the private circle of home that her virtues
shone most brightly. With a strong faith in the promises of
God to parental faithfulness, she labored diligently and prayer-
fully to inspire her children with honorable and right impulses,
and to train them up for usefulness and for heaven. * ^ *

resignation, she sank to rest, Oct. 9, 1839." (^Davenport Fam-

lamy of Bethlehem, Ct., and was licensed as a Congregational
clergyman. He preached as a candidate for settlement on Long
Island, and in Connecticut. In 1771 he was ordained and
settled in Middlefield, a parish in Middletown, Ct., and remained
there about fourteen years ; and, during that time, by his address
and efforts, he procured the emancipation of all the slaves held
by his people. During the war of the revolution, he was a
genuine and consistent whig. He left his people temporarily to
act as a chaplain in the army. He was one of the last in the
retreat from Long Island, and was in the battles of White
Plains and Harlaem. In 1785 he obtained a dismission from
Middlefield, Ct., and was next settled at New Lebanon, where
he was installed June 8, 1786. He was, at his own request,
dismissed in 1791, his salary being greatly in arrears, the balance
£642 ly. not having been paid until May 19, 1794, as appears
by a receipt on the books of the trustees. From New Lebanon
he removed to North Salem, thence to Poundridge, and thence
to North Stamford, Ct., where his wife died. From North
Stamford he removed to Parsippany, N. J., thence to Roxbury,
where he died Nov. 19, 1818, aged 78. His fourth wife (wid.
Sawyer of Cobleskill) survived him. In the history of Middle-
sex Co., Ct., he is described as a man of strong and benevolent
affections, and an intelligent and able divine. He left behind
him some manuscripts, the result of great labor, particularly the
one on the Book of Revelations. An ingenious essay on Mel-
chisedec, left by him in manuscript, was published in one of the
earliest numbers of the Christian Spectator. He also left some
philosophical and mechanical tracts on the tides and winds, and
on submarine navigation and attack, exhibiting a profound,
ingenious and careful intellect. He was a man of remarkably
clear, weir balanced and philosophical mind, and of thorough
education. He was offered a professorship in Yale College, but
did not accept it. The following is the inscription on his
gravestone :

Rev. Dr. Belhmy. He was ordained pastor of Newent Soc,
Lisbon, Ct., Feb. 21, 1771, and dismissed for lack of support.
May I, 1782. He then removed to the vicinity of his native
place, and, preached as he had opportunity, till, in Aug.^ 1784,
he was invited to a pulpit in Plainiield, which had then been nearly
seven years vacant. Here he was installed Dec. 23, 1784 — the
sermon from his brother. Rev. Abner, of Middlefield parish.
The ministerial rate having been given up, his support was pro-
vided for by funds and subscriptions. It was eked out by labors
as an instructor in academical and theological studies. There
Mr. Benedict served a long and happy term of ministerial
service, winning to himself much esteem, not only among his

a Doctorate in Divinity from Union College, and, in 18 14, the
same degree from Dartmouth College. He was highly reputed
for piety, knowledge, and prudence, and was especially
thought a proficient in his acquaintance * with the Hebrew
Scriptures. His manner of preaching is described as quiet and
moderate, chiefly extemporanfeous, and full of good instruction,
but not fitted especially to arouse the careless. He died Feb.
13, 18 16. A monument reared by filial affection among the
graves of his attached people, commemorates his virtues. A
funeral sermon from the text, ^^ A great man has fallen in
Israel,'' by Rev. Samuel Nott, D. D., was published. Dr.
Benedict is not known to have published anything except a sermon
preached at Dr. Levi Hart's funeral." * Cong, ^ar.^ July»

exodus from New England. Accordingly, in the latter part of

of New York. The deed of Uriah's form bears date Jan. 12,

civil and ecclesiastical affairs of the settlement, for which his
religious character and business capacity fitted him. The first
church established there chose him Deacon ; and he was super-

1863, his regiment (the 145th N. Y. Vols.) was consolidated.
Soon after he received a commission in the 46th N. Y. Vols., (a

until 1 864, when it was mustered out. In Sept., Gen. Jack-
son joined Gen. Sherman's command, and he reached Atlanta,
Ga., early in Oct. Lieut. B. went through the remainder of
the march to the sea. Entering the army from patriotic motives,
declaring ' that the country needed the hearts of her daughters
and the hands of her sons,' he carried with him the virtues and
graces of a Chrisdan gentleman, illustrating, during weary
marches, and after sharp conflicts, by patient watching in the
hospital, by succor cheerfully rendered to escaped Andersonville
victims, by courtesy to all men, the Gospel he professed. During
his passage through the swamps of South Carolina, he was
attacked by severe chills, followed by a persistent cough. These
symptoms never yielded to treatment, although they were miti-
gated by a change, in the winter of 1865, to Ausdn, Nevada,

Norwalk, Ct., to become their pastor. Accepting the invita-
tion, he was installed Aug. 12, 1828, and continued there four
years, amid scenes of great religious interest and fruitfulness.
Impaired health compelled him to resign his charge and visit the
south. On his return, he labored a short time in the church at
Somers, in 1833. In October of that year he accepted a call
from Lansingburgh, where he remained two years. After which,
declining permanent engagements, he preached (1836-7) at
Covington, Ky., where he founded a church ; afterwards (1838)
at Stillwater, then at the Broadway Tabernacle, N. Y, ; also,
at the Bowery church (1839). Leaving New York, he accepted
a call from the Congregational church, Westport, Ct. (1840),
and remained there twelve years. Resigning this charge, he
spent about a year in Europe (1852), and on his return was
settled over the Presbyterian church at Portchester, where
he continued until 1863, when advancing years induced him to
lay aside his duties as pastor. He continued to reside at Port-
chester, ministering occasionally there, and in neighboring
churches, until his decease, which occurred at Saratoga Springs,
July 18, 1868. The foregoing is a brief record of a useful
life, held in grateful remembrance in many households where
the fragrance of his loving words and deeds still lingers." A
funeral discourse was preached in the Presbyterian church, Nor-
walk, Ct., by B. F. Munday, tHe pastor, from I John, iii, 2. (See

Div. of the Ct. Militia. His views changing, after preparatory
theological studies with his father, he entered the ministry as a
Presbyterian clergyman. He preached his first sermon Jan. 15,

1802. His first congregation was that of Blooming Grove,
Orange Co., where he was ordained as an Evangelist, Nov. 16,

1803. From that place he was called to an adjoining agri-
cultural parish (Bethlehem), in the township of New Wind-
sor, where he remained four years. He was next settled
over the church and congregation in Franklin, Del. Co., where
he remained about eight years, when he was called to New
Concord (Chatham), Columbia Co., and was pastor of the
Presbyterian church there till, having been repeatedly attacked
with bleeding at the lungs, he was forced to abandon the con-
tinued active duties of his profession, and was employed by the
Pennsylvania branch of the American Tract Society in Philadel-
phia, where he remained till his death, occasioned by the bursting
of a blood-vessel, October 21, 1833. He was buried in Laurel
Hill cemetery, Philadelphia, Pa. Eager, in his History of Orange
C?., says of him : ^ Mr. Benedict was a man of ardent piety,
untiring zeal and eloquence, which continually drew crowds to
listen to his preaching.' He sometimes left his people and
preached as a missionary in the counties of Broome and Che-
nango, and the neighboring ones of Pennsylvania. The same
result followed his preaching in those sparse settlements as
elsewhere. The inhabitants flocked to hear him, and were
deeply affected. He was almost constantly in the midst of
religious revivals from the time he entered the ministry till his
health failed. He was active and influential in the Northern
Associate presbytery, where he was intimate with Rev. David
Porter of Catskill, Rev. Seth Williston of New Durham,
Rev. David Harrowar of Sydney, who in the beginning of
this century, were the great apostles of the region lying west
of the Hudson, and about the head waters of the Delaware and
the Susquehanna. There was nothing ornate or rhetorical in
his language or manner. He was simple, earnest, clear, and
persuasive. His sincerity, sympatliy and feeling were irresisti-
ble. It was said of his preaching ' the word melted hearts like
wax before the fire.' His few published sermons fail to exhibit

his power over an audience, because they lack the expression of
feature, voice and manner. In all the ministrations of his
sacred profession, his manner was very solemn and impressive.
In social life, and in his family, he was cheerful and humorous,
and abounded in anecdote and repartee. The following extract
from a newspaper notice of his widow suggests the influence she ^^
may have exerted upon her husband and children. ^ She was emi- ^^
nent during her Jong life for her earnest and practical Christian
spirit, the brightness and activity of her intellect, and the vivacity
and attractiveness of her disposition. In labors of love for the
poor, the sick, and the ignorant, she abounded. To the old,
the middle-aged, and the young, her society was alike, ever
delightful. Her children and all who knew her rose up to call
her blessed. The vigor of her mind was not weakened, the
warmth of her love was not chilled, nor the benevolence of her
band checked by her advanced years ; and to a remarkable
extent her bodily strength remained till her last sickness, which
was of but few days' continuance.' " She died June 4, 1862, in
the 90th year of her age, at Huntington, Pa. Ch.

taught, for a few years, academies, successively in Hanover,
Springfield and Newark. In 1807 he removed to Franklin,

whom he had accompanied, and under his elder brother. Rev.
Joel T., who was then pastor of the Congregational church at

Cicero, he removed to Sherburne, where he remained three or

four years as pastor of the Congregational church. The
remainder of his days he devoted with great zeal and eminent
success to the arduous and selMenying labors of an Evangelist.
His preaching was singularly practical and searching. His
doctrinal sentiments were those of St. Paul, as interpreted by
^ Calvin. Revivals of religion almost invariably attended him
^ whereever he went, and he did much to build-up and strengthen,
in their in&ncy, the early churches of Western New York.
He was ardent in his feelings, genial in his social intercoure,
tender and indulgent in all his family relations, as a lovec of
man and a lover of God. He died Dec. 25, 1830. Dr.
Penney, his friend, and one of the ministers of Rochester,
and subsequently president of Hamilton College, preached
his funeral discourse from the text ^ Our fathers ! where
are they ? and the prophets ? do they live forever ? ' The
Rev. Dr. Joel Parker of New York, under date of March
12, 1870, described his friend and colaborer. Rev. Abner, ^as
a little less than of a medium stature, of a compact frame, quick
in his motions, as indicating a degree of nervous sensibility.
Hi» mental characteristics were peculiar, while his modes of
thought were chaste, as indicating mental culture, he was dis-
tinguished for accuracy of statement and sharpness of discrimi-
nation. He was peculiarly a doctrinal preacher, and a high
Calvinist. He was a very bold preacher, and an able debater.
He was, at times, too, very pathetic, especially at the communion
service. His discourses were not considered as eloquent through-
out ; but they were always replete with sound thought, often
marked by passages of great power, delivered in a manner which
I was always inclined to characterize as intense. With him true
piety was first, and learning next. These were all — godliness
and mental discipline.* " Ch.

truth in the face of all opposition. He removed in 1832 to

(Rowland) Marvin,t b. May 18, 1779, at Lyme, Ct., and
d. Sept. 27, 1825, at Albany. The &ther of Uriah, and
his fellow settlers of Connecticut birth, had left their quiet
homes and plunged into the wilderness north of Albany. While
they were necessarily exposed to all the privations and perils
incident to a frontier life in Revolutionary times, the peculiar
situation of their settlement was fraught with additional dangers.
It was on a natural route to Canada, which inevitably would
become a thoroughfare for hostile expeditions from that quarter.
This section was, previous to the war, the abiding place of
many malignant and enterprising tories, and the fears of loyal
men, that these renegades would become the guides of maraud-
ing Indians, were more than realized. In 1779, in consequence
of an official warning, all loyalists abandoned their homes and
repaired to Schenectady. Uriah Benedict's family was among
the refugees. An attack was made by .Major Monroe and his
savages. The inhabitants rallied and pursued the marauders,

* Josephs Rockwell was b. Feb. 14, 1739$ m. Sarah Mead, b. Dec. 15, 1 741.
His will was proved Saratoga county, June 14, 1823. He was, I think, a son of
Joseph^ of Norwalk, Ct., b. 1708, and d. 1748, leaving: i. Josephs; n. Lydia;
III. Phcebe. His father, Joseph,3 is mentioned among voters of Norwalk (/f«//, p. 87),

was probably son of John' of Windsor (son of William,' born in England), who
removed to Stamford and had Joseph and Hannah. Deacon William' Rockwell
was a member of a church formed in the New Hospital of Plymouth, England, with
the Rev. Mr. Wareham as pastor, and Mr. Maverick as teacher, who emigrated to
this country in 1630. They landed at Nantucket, and settled in Dorchester, Mass.,
where they remained till 1636, when the greater portion of them removed to
Windsor, Ct., with Rev. Mr. Wareham as their pastor. (Sti/es^ Hist. Anc, Winsor^ pp.

f Benjamin Marvin was a son of Benjamin (and Deborah Mather), son of John,
son of Lieut. Reinold, son of Reinold, a brother of Matthew of Hartford, and,
afterwards, of Norwalk, Ct. "Lyme*s Captain, Deacon Reinold Marvin,** was
second son of Lieut. Reinold. Deborah Mather was a descendant of Rev. Richard
Mather, the father of Increase Mather, President of Harvard College, who was the
father of Cotton Mather. (Marvin Gen., p. 34.)

until met by a captive who had been released, and was charged
with a message from Col. Gordon, one of their prisoners, ask-
ing that they might not be pursued, because Major Monroe had
ordered his men, if attacked, to kill all the prisoners. It is said,
that on its becoming known in Montreal that Monroe had given
so brutal an order, he was cashiered. ' Uriah Jr., then in his
fourteenth year, probably, was engaged in this pursuit, for his
name appears on the pay-roll of that period. He saw service
again, in the &11 of 1781. He went on foot through the woods
to Waterford, a distance of some fourteen miles, and enlisted
among the three months men, for the defense of the frontier,
then menaced by St. Leger's expedition. Soon after, his &ther
heard that he was seen pursued by an Indian, and was probably
killed. After a troublesome journey of seventy miles which
Uriah Sr. had made to bring home the body of his son, he found
him celebrating some great success of the American arms,
probably the surrender of Cornwallis. It seems the son had
gained a tree,' and consequently an advantage which enabled him
to kill his pursuer. After the close of the war he settled down
to quiet and domestic pursuits. His great natural capabilities
for business brought ample rewards for his diligence and enter-
prise ; the Four Corners in Milton, where he established himself,
becoming a nucleus, around which population and industry soon
gathered and continued to increase. The , hospitalities of his
house were liberal to a degree not easily imagined now ; and, his
charity to the poor was even more generous than his entertainment
of the stranger. He was a gentle and amiable man, with tastes
befitting rural life. A tender husband and father, he was not
less useful and exemplary as a citizen. Leaving Milton in 1805,
he, in partnership with Uriah Marvin, conducted a business, in
Albany, in West India goods and the produce of the country.
Mr. B. continued in business until his death of a prevailing

for the legal profession, he opened a law office at Adams, Jeffl
Co., in the year 1 808. Circumstances indicating that Watertown
would become the county seat, Mr. Sterling removed to W.
about 1 809, and soon became distinguished for his skill, success
and honorable deportment as a citizen and counseUor. In 1821
he was elected a member of congress for the doable district^
composed of the counties of Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Lewis.
In Nov., 1835, he was elected to the senate of New York for
four years. Of the public character of Mr. Sterling, the jour-
nals of congress and of the senate bear faithful and honorable
testimony. By his learning and ability he obtained a high dis-
tinction in his profession, and by his courteous manners, his high
sense of honor and probity, his public spirit and benevolence*,
and his acknowledged weight of character, secured to himself
the confidence and esteem of all with whom he had intercourse."

Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Farnsworth, dau. James and Nancy Rus-
sell, formerly of Boston. He was a native of Norwalk, Ct., and
early distinguished for his intelligent energy in business. Being
an apprentice to the printing business in the office of the Nor-
walk Gazette^ at the age of nineteen he bought his time and
became the proprietor, editor and publisher of the paper, which
he continued until Jan., 1833, ^^^^ ^^ removed to New York
and became the proprietor and publisher of the New Tori
Evangelist^ in connection with Rev. Joshua Leavitt. He dis-
posed of the Evangelist in 1837, and soon after became the
publisher of the Emancipator and other publications of the
American and the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society,
while at the same time carrying on his printing and publishing
business. In 1848 he projected the publication of a new
Evangelical religious newspaper, to be devoted to the interest
and cause of Congregationalism. This plan was subsequently
modified, and in Dec. of that year he commenced the publica-
tion of the Independent^ under the auspices of Rev. Drs. Bacon,
Thompson and Storrs, as editors, Dr. Leavitt, as assistant, and
Messrs S. B. Hunt, S. B. Chittenden, Bowen and McNamee,
as proprietors. In Dec, 1853, ^^ relinquished his connection
with the paper, and continued his printing and publishing busi-
ness until March, 1854, when his office was totally destroyed
by fire. Latterly, he has conducted an extensive real estate
agency. Mr. B. was for some years clerk of the Congrega-
tional church at Norwalk. On his removal to N. Y., he joined
what is now Thirteenth street Presbyterian church, of which
he became a trustee and an elder. Leaving this church, to aid in
the organization of the Broadway Tabernacle church, he became
a trustee and Deacon, and so remained till it was changed into
a Presbyterian church. He died Nov. 10, 1869. His funeral
sermon was preached by Dr. J. P. Thompson, from the text
** diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." (See
HalPs Hist. Norwalk^ Ct.y p. 319.) Ch.

county, in 18 14, he was drafted into the army during the absence
of his &ther, and ordered to march the next day for the defense
of New York, then threatened with an attack by the British
fleet. He remained in the service ab6ut two months, when bis
father procured a substitute for him, and he returned to his
studies. He was examined and passed for admission to Hs^mil-
ton College, but, the family removing to Chatham, he entered,
Sept., 1 8 15, the sophomore class of Williams College, and
graduated in 181 8, with the highest honors. After graduating
he was, successively, principal of the academy in Westfield,
Mass., tutor three years in Williams College, principal of the
academy in Newburgh, professor in the University of Vermont,
where he filled the chairs of mathematics, natural philosophy,
chemistry and natural history, teaching chemistry in the univer-
sity and in the medical college. He was secretary of the board
of trustees for many years, and at separate periods was treasurer.
In 1847 ^^ closed his connection with the institution in conse-
quence of ill health. During his professorship, while Prof.
Farrand N. Benedict was engaged in the surveys and observa-
tions of the mountains of Northern New York, Prof. G. W.
B. made observations at Burlington to synchronize with those
at the superior stations, and their merit was acknowledged in
Prof. Emmons's Geology of New York, In the language of one
of his associate professors, who was in constant intimacy with
him for many years : ' The University of Vermont, appa-
rently expiring from the effects of the War of 181 2, and
from subsequent calamities, he inspired with new life. It is not
invidious to his associates, who labored with him through this
trying period of the institution, to say that he was preeminently
efficient in originating and executing the measures that ulti-
mately resulted in it^ renewed prosperity. Some of them have
since been adopted by most of the American colleges. The
course of study was remodeled, systematized, and enlarged, the
standard of scholarship elevated, and a more vigorous discipline
enforced. His paternal and genial intercourse with the students,
gained for him a popularity among them that was rarely inter-
rupted. He brought to bear upon the multiplied subjects of

called him, a clear and active mind, versatile powers and general
erudition/ He was afterwards for many years connected with
the public press, as proprietor and editor of the Burlington
Free PresSy a daily and weekly newspaper. He was twice
elected to the senate of Vermont, after which he declined all
candidacy for political office, although he has never ceased to
feel a deep and patriotic interest in public aiEurs. He received
the degree of LL. D. from the University of Vermont. A
discourse delivered by him before the literary societies of the
University of Vermont, on New England educational Institu-
tUns in relation to American Government^ was published in 1844.
He has resided at Burlington since 1825.*' Ch.

versity, 1844. He studied law, in New York, with his uncle,
Erastus C. After coming to the bar, he formed a business part-
nership with his uncltf, and devoted himself with assiduity to the
general business of the profession, giving, however, especial atteir-
tion to the law and practice in the admiralty oourts, in which he
had much ability and soon acquired deserved reputadon and suc-
cess. A new judicial district of the U. S. (Eastern District of
New Yprk), having been established in Feb., 1865, he was ap-
pointed by President Lincoln the first judge of that court, taking
his seat March 2, 1869. He has been caUed upon to decide
many interesting, novel and important cases. Many of his de-
cisions have been reported in ist and 2d vols, of Benedicts Dis'
trkt Court Reports. He has secured the reputation of an able,
independent and upright judge." Ch.

in 1847, and took the degree of Master of Arts in 1850. In
1865 he was elected a member of the corporation of the Univer-
sity, and was appointed secretary of the same. After his gradua-
tion he was engaged in teaching in New York city for a year^ and
for the three subsequent years was engaged in building the lines of

214 Descendants of

the Vermont and Boston Telegraph Co. In 1853 he became
part proprietor and associate editor of the Burlington daily and
weekly Free Press^ and is now editor-in-chief of that paper. In
1 860 he was appointed by President Lincoln, postmaster of Bur-
lington, and held that office four years. In the same year he was
elected president of the Vermont and Boston Telegraph Co., and
held that office two years. In August, 1862, he enlisted as a
private in Co. C, 12th Regt. Vermont Vols. In Jan., 1863, he
was promoted to be lieutenant and aid-de-camp on the staff" of
the brigade commander. He was in the battle of Gettysburg,
July 1st, 2d and 3d, 1863, as aid-de-camp on the staff" of Gen.
Geo. J. Stannard, commanding the 2d brigade Vt. Vols. He
was the first man of the brigade on the field, having been sent
forward to announce to the division commander the approach of
the brigade. He was engaged on Cemetery Hill on the second
day, and in the repulse of Longstreet on the left centre in the
latter part of that day. On the third day he was in the thickest
of the battle, in the front line on the left centre, assisting in exe-
cuting the flank attack upon Pickett's division, which was mainly
instrumental in repelling its charge upon our lines; and with an-
other staff'-officer caught Gen. Hancock as he fell from his horse,
severely wounded. A spent ball struck him with force enough
to bend in a copper pistol cartridge in his cartridge-box, but hap-
pily did not explode it. An account of the part taken by the
Vermont troops in that batde was afterwards prepared by him
and read before the Vermont Historical Society in 1 864, and, in
1866 it was published under the tide of Vermont at Gettysburg.
A second edition was published in 1870. On the expiration of
his term of service, he was honorably mustered out, July 14, 1863.
In 1865 he held the office of Asst. Insp. General, with the rank
of Major, in the Vermont militia, and in 1866 he was appointed
aid-de-camp on the staff" of Gov. Paul Dillingham, with rank of
Colonel. In 1869 he was elected to the senate of Vermont,

he came to New York city, and taught a private school in Brook-
lyn for two years. He was admitted to the bar of New York,

preparation of a series of reports of the decisions of the district
courts of the United States in the second circuit, of which the 2d
volume is now going through the press. They are known as Bent-

Plymouth church, Brooklyn, in which he was twice elected Dea-
con. He has been clerk of the society of Plymouth church since
1 860. During the last ten years he has been a frequent con-
tributor to the editorial columns of the liew York Times, having
written many of the leading articles intended to strengthen the
hands and hearts as well of the hopeful as of the weak in the
patriotic duty of maintaining the integrity of the nation and the
principles of liberty. Defective eye sight alone kept him from

fiimily removed to New York in 1803. In early life he had
some experience in teaching, commencing in a common school'
in 1 8 16, and ending as a tutor in Williams College in 1824.
He entered the sophomore class in September, 1818, and
graduated in 1821, when he took charge of the academy in
Johnstown, and subsequently taught in the academy in New-
burgh. As tutor in college, he taught the class of 1825 when
juniors, and the class of 1826 when sophomores. His profes-
sional studies completed, at the end of the year 1824 he entered
upon the practice of the law in the city of New York, where
he has ever since been, and is now, a successful practitioner.
When the common school system was extended to the city of

2i6 Descendants of

New York, he was chosen among the first trustees of common
schools, and subsequently, in 1850, was elected a member of
the board of education for the city, of which board he was pre-
sident for several years. He resigned his office as member of
the board of education, in 1863, not, however, until he was
generally recognized as among the first who were instrumental
in consolidating and maturing the entire school system of New
York city. The services he rendered — cooperating with like-
minded men — in rearing the free academy, now the College of
New York, are admitted by ail. He was among the select
number who confessedly laid the foundations of that ^ Areopagus
and royal home ' of college advantages for the masses, in the
city of N. Y. In 1855, he was appointed, by the legislature,
one of the Board of Regents of the University of the State,
which office he still holds. In 1840, he was elected a member
of the common council of the city of New York. In 1848,
he was a member of the state legislature, as, also, in 1864,
He is an elder in the Reformed church, and was a member of
the general synod in 1868. Mr. B. is the author of The
American Admiralty^ of which a new and enlarged edition is
this year (1870) published ; of A Run through Europe^ a book
of travels, of which the third edition was published in 1868;
of the Hymn of Hildebert^ and other mediaeval hymns, with
translations, of which a new and enlarged edition was published
in 1869, and of various pamphlets, reviews, speeches, and
addresses, on literary, religious, and political subjects, published
at different times during the last thirty years, including The
Beginning of America^ the anniversary discourse before the New
York Historical Society in 1863. In 1840, he delivered the
anniversary address before the society of alumni of Williams
College, and has established several prizes in that college. His
degree of LL. D. was given him by Rutgers College, in 1865.
This record, like all such, necessarily furnishes only a very
imperfect view of Mr. Benedict's long and earnest professional
and literary life. He assumed with confidence the grave
responsibilities of manhood, when a mere boy, and from that
time onward devoted himself with singular patience and steadi-
ness of purpose, to the work of life. As a lawyer, the Ameri-

can bar will not permit any other place to be finally assigned
him, except among the very first, if not the first, in the front
rank of admiralty lawyers. His name has been made familiar
to the profession throughout the country, by the work referred
to above, which is everywhere a standard text-book ; but far
more by his practice as an admiralty lawyer, which, for nearly
a half century, has been coextensive with our Atlantic coast.
It is due to a record of this kind to fix, if possible, and per-
petuate other personal characteristics. Mr. Benedict is dis-
tinguished as a hard worker outside his profession. As an
officer of the New York Historical Society, a member of its
executive committee for twenty-eight years, and now the chair-
man of that committee ; as, also, in his relations as officer to
various other societies — religious, charitable, and educational —
his labors have been great. He has been a trustee of Williams
College since 1855 ; manager of the association for improving
the condition of the poor, since its organization, in 1848 ;
manager of the American Art Union while it existed, and he
has also been a governor of the State Woman's Hospital since
its incorporation. Coleridge, in one of his aphorisms, asserts
that there is no higher evidence of genius than the ability to
maintain, in advancing years, the fresh, genial feelings of youth.
All who know Mr. Benedict, will admit at once that he comes
within Coleridge's rule. He is now, to all appearances, as
laborious, as earnest, as hopeful, as much interested in his pro-
fession, and in plans for benefiting his fellow men, as when
he first struck out. He is now interested as much as ever in
the social, political, and moral questions which are engaging the
attention of advancing minds, and, in aid of their solution, he
brings not only ripeness, but wonderful freshness. The writer
of this notice has endeavored to be & faithful contributor to
history, and, in dismissing the subject of this notice, he simply
says that he has nothing to fear from the impartial judgment of
cotemporaries ; as for the rest, it may. be safely left to a future
age, if not to other countries." Ch. (adopted.)

of law in the city of New York, where he was admitted to the
bar in the year 1832, and practised this profession until his death.
Mr. Benedict was a man of strong sense and sound judgment ;
he possessed a mind of great independence. His conclusions
were strictly his own (borrowing no color from the authority of
mere name), and when formed, they were asserted with self-
relying boldness, and maintained with unflinching firmness. He
was a sound lawyer and a successful advocate ; as a speaker he
was exceedingly impressive, sententious and forcible. In social
life, his wit and humor abounded, and together with the habitual
use of the most expressive and purest English, gave to his con-
versation a somewhat epigrammatic and sententious character ;
but, under the control of his characteristic kindness of disposition,
his wit was always without sting and his humor free from offens-
ive raillery. He possessed great energy and determination of
character, and called them into requisition whenever the object
seemed to him to demand their exercise. He possessed a refined
and cultivated taste, not only in literature, but also in art. He
was unpretending, seeking no unearned reputation and making
no ostentatious display of his intellectual endowments or of his
prosperity. Mr. Benedict's sympathies were of the kindest
character. He was social, hospitable, and exceedingly agreeable
as a companion, never failing, notwithstanding his brusque man-
ner, to treat his intimates with the same politeness that he ex-
tended to his mere acquaintances and strangers. Mr. Benedict
was unaflFectedly benevolent. The poor he never sent empty
away, nor passed without leaving his mite. Many of us remem-
ber him as one of the original members of that excellent and
noiseless charity, the Prison Association of New York. Here
he labored assiduously in visiting dungeons and prisons, and in
extending aid to those who, on being liberated from confinement.

needed the aid of some kind hand to lead them in the ways of
honest exertion, and secure them from temptations to crime.
For these arduous labors there could be no consideration, no
reward, except that which springs up in every benevolent heart
from the performance of a benevolent action." Mr. B. and
wife were lost in the steamship Arctic, which sunk after a col-
lision with the Vesta, in 1854. We have quoted the words of
Mr. £. Burr, who delivered a eulogy upon Mr. B. at a meeting
of the New York bar, July 15, 1855. Ch.

George Kohler, b. Aug. 9, 1.835. He entered the college of New
York (then Free Academy), and after remaining a year, left to
accompany his father to Europe. Soon after the death of his
father, he entered the counting-room of Mr. John A. Machado,
an extensive shipping merchant in the African trade ; and, after
becoming acquainted with the business, spent some time at Gam-
bia, in Africa, as a resident clerk, agent, and finally as partner, but,
before the partnership was fully in progress, the great commercial
revulsion of 1857 overwhelmed Mr. M., and Mr. Benedict re-
turned to New York. He was soon employed by another house
to proceed with a cargo to the English colony of Sierra Leone,
and remain there as resident commercial agent. He died there,
M*y >3» 1859, of the yellow fever. The newspapers of the
colony spoke highly of him. A private letter said : '' His funeral
was attended by every one in the colony. Every respect was
paid to hb memory. The colors at the American consulate and
on all the shipping in the harbor, were half-masted. He was
deeply regretted by all, and by none more than ourselves."

Abner Raleigh, b. Nov. 13, 1839. *' He was educated in the
schools and University of Burlington, Vt., where he was a
universal favorite. In him, to enargy, magnanimity and high spirit
were added the attractions of a fine figure, and a face that was
the mobile mirror of his noble nature. In 1854, he lost his
parents in the Arctic, and shortly after, an elder sister and brother
were taken from him. These terrible bereavements preyed upon
his feelings and gave rise to a despondency which checked his
naturally cheerful humor and playful wit. Like all men of
intellectual refinement, he was modest and reserved. In short, he
seems to have had all those delicate characteristics that were
once popularly believed to unfit the possessor for ' the dread
experience of arms.' Immediately after the breaking out of the
war, he volunteered as a private in Col. Butterfield's regiment,
which was one of the three that first left New York city for the
seat of war. In August, 1861, however, he left the volunteer
service, having received a commission as 2d Lieut in the Fourth

220 Descendants of

regular infantry. By his gallantry and coolness at Gaines' Mills,
a most desperate and bloody fights he won his first brevet. At
second Bull Run^ his clothing was repeatedly cut by bullets ; at
Antietam, he was under heavy fire. At Fredericksburg, Major
Benedict commanded forty men of the strong picket line, that in
the darkness, was pushed up to the enemy's main line, while our
beaten army was retreating across the river. The orders were to
hold position until relieved, and the intention was to withdraw
the picket line before daylight should reveal its nearness to the
enemy. By some fatal mistake, the line was not relieved as
directed, and at daylight the enemy, from most destructive short
range, opened fire. While Major Benedict was animating his
men by his voice and his example, an officer of his brigade that was
in full sight of the fight, noticing that he was made a special mark
for the sharpshooters, said : * Why the devil don't he walk zig-
zag?' Major Dryer, of the Fourth infantry, replied : * Don't
you know that Benedict is the last man to ever walk zigzag, with
a brigade looking at him ? ' Major Benedict soon after fell, shot
through the lungs with a minie ball, and was only rescued by the
devotion of his men, several of whom were killed and wounded
while carrying him out of fire, a gallant Irish sergeant falling dead
with a bullet through his head, and the cheer, ' Hurrah ! we've
saved the lieutenant,' on his lips. This action gave him his second
brevet. Wounded on the 14th of Dec, 1862, in less than three
months Major Benedict was at Washington, reporting for duty,
with his wound still open at the breast and back. Finally he got
permission to go to the field, and joined his regiment at Chancel-
lors ville, while the battle was in progress. At Gettysburg the
wounding of his superiors placed him in command of his regi-
ment,- and he handled it amid all the carnage of that terrible day
with great credit to himself. >Shortly after Gettysburg, his health
began to fait him, his wounded lung showing evident signs of
weakness and irritation. In spite of his failing health, be still
sought field duty, and for some time commanded the Fourth
infantry as the body guard of Lieut -General Grant's head-
quarters during the Petersburg campaign. He was last stationed
at Plattsburg barracks, leaving there to seek a warmer station, but
the gallant fellow had been living for a year on nothing but sheer
pluck, and from this time he gradually sank, until death relieved
him from his great sufiering, June 15, 1867. The funeral took
place from the house of his uncle, Hon. £. C. Benedict, New
York city. The usual religious services were held at the house,
and a detachment of troops from Governor's Island, accompanied
by the military band and field drum corps, gave the body military
escort. To the sound of the long pealing dirges and muffled
drums, the body of the hero, wrapped in the folds of the flag
for which he died, was borne to the tomb."

.16 he was nominated for a cadetship in the Naval Academy, and
came to New York to prepare for his examination. He, how-
ever, unknown to his uncle and guardian, Erastus C. Benedict,
enlisted in the i02d N. Y. Vols., then in the field in Virginia,
under the assumed name of Joseph Prentiss. Ten days after he
joined his regiment it went into the battle of Cedar Mountain,
and he was left on the field wounded in the thigh, which was
thereby paralysed. He succeeded in reaching our lines, was
placed in hospital, and after several months discharged as disabled
and entitled to a pension. Returning to his uncle's house, he
there found his brother Abner lying, having been shot through the
lungs at Fredericksburg. The hospital experience of Erastus
made him a useful companion to his sick brother. Under new
treatment his disability ceased, and he reenlisted, but was rejected
by the examining surgeon. Being then sent to an academy in
the interior, by his guardian, he remained a few weeks, and then
enlisted in the 12th N. Y. cavalry as a corporal, and remained
with the regiment, serving in N. C, until the end of the war.
He then resumed his studies, but enlisted in a few months in the
regular cavalry, and was sent to the western plains Being under
age, and having enlisted without the consent of his guardian, he
was finally discharged." Res. Newark, N. J.

induced to remove to Huntingdon, Pa., to take charge of the
Huntingdon Journal^ a political newspaper, as publisher and
editor. After proper preparatory studies he was admitted to the
bar and practised law there with ability and success, his success
being impaired by his connection with journalism and party
politics. In 1849 ^^ ^^^ appointed deputy secretary of state of
Pennsylvania, and removed to Harrisburgh, the political capital
of the state, continuing bis practice as counsel \ subsequently,

to fill the office by reelection till his death. During the rebel-
lion he was secretary of the central state committee of the

College, and from the UniverSty of Vermont. At the time
of his appointment to his professorship, he was declared by
that eminent scholar and man of science, Professor Strong (in
a letter recommending his appointment to another college), to
be the first mathematician of his age, in the United States, and
ever since he has been a profound student for the mere love of
scientific investigation and knowledge. The circumstances of
his wife's illness deferred, and finally compelled him to abandon
his purpose of preparing for the press some works on the higher
mathematics, and especially one on curves, of a new and
original character. His contributions, however, to the scien-
tific journals, were numerous and valuable. Some of them
(prize discussions) were spoken of in high terms by cotemporary
men of science. Besides these he has written hydrographical
and topographical reports in which were discussed abstract
practical subjects, such as rail road motion and the conditions
of strength and endurance of telegraph wires under the influ-
ence of winds, sleet, etc. His greatest works are his report
to Professor Emmons on the altitudes of the Adirondack pla-
teau, and lakes and mountain peaks, and his report to the New
York senate of his survey of a line of slackwater navigation
through the wilderness of Northern New York, from Lake
Champlain to the Black River ; that vast mountain region
having been explored by him for the three-fold purpose of
ascertaining its productive value, its geographical geology, and
its possibilities for internal communication. Professor Emmons,
the state geologist, who was then preparing his volume of the
great national work, the Natural History of New York^ applied
to Prof. B. to review the whole subject, and his communication
to Prof. E. was deemed by him to be of sufficient importance
to be preserved in durable form, and, with all its details, it was
printed in the report to the state, pp. 109-212. This commu-
nication enters somewhat into the subject of the improvement
of that region by slackwater navigation, which subject he treated
at much greater length, and with great ability in his report to the
senate of New York, which has been mentioned. His explana-
tions and surveys have been the basis of all the plans for
developing that great mineral district, and which have all finally

224 Descendants of

yielded to the Adirondack rail road, now in course of construc-
tion. In a great rail road controversy in Vermont, he was
appointed by the supreme court, together with Hon. Jacob
Collamer, ex-U. S. senator and postmaster general of the U. S.^
and the Hon. George F. Edmunds, the present U. S. senator,
to hear and determine the controversy as referees. They sat
together several weeks on the bench at Montpelier, the capital
of the state, to hear the case. Prof. B. in the midst of all his
abstractions, has kept fresh his classical learning, cultivated a
forcible and agreeable style, logical, clear and exact, and per-
formed his part in the amenities of social life, and has always
been characterized by the greatest simplicity, modesty and good
nature. He is well entitled to be called a great man." *

years, a preparatory course for college at the Onondaga Academy. He applied him-
self to his studies with diligence and with highly creditable success, until a chronic
weakness of the eyes compeUed him to abandon the hope of a Uberal education.
Hu contemplative and philosophical turn of mind, notwithstanding this and other
discouragements, led him to confine himself to intellectual pursuits. f)e continued,
therefore, through life to indulge his taste for philosophy by general reading amd
thought on these abstruse subjects. Leaving his father*s house in 1824, he passed
the remaining years of his life in various localities of the southern and south-western
states, in teaching and self-culture. During this period he wrote and prepared for the
press an elaborate work on the prophecies of Holy Writ. The manuscript is now
(1870) in the custody of his brother Farrand, and evinces labor and original research.
Owing to the convulsions of the civil war, and his inadequate health, or probable
decease, the work remains only in manuscript.

years in the Mediterranean. On his return he retired, under fur-
lough, to Leesburg, Va., when he became principal of the Lees-

in the United States Observatory at Washington. He remained

mon school before he was four years old. His father having
died in December, 1831', and his mother the following month,
he became a member of the family of his cousin. Rev. Richard
Hutson Benedict, and with him, went, at the age of eleven years,
to Oakland county, Mich., then a wilderness. The desire of
knowledge urged him to overcome the difficulties in his way.
Obliged to perform certain duties on the farm, he was accus-
tomed to perform them, in winter, several hours before daylight,
and then tramp four miles through the snow to the nearest set-
tlement and school-house, and, after school and the tramp home,
more work awaited him. So he lived until the fall of 1837,
when he went into the family of his brother Farrand, in Bur-
lington, Vt., and fitted for college in the Burlington high school.
He entered the University of Vermont in 1839, and was gradu-
ated with honor in 1843. His instructors in college were the
distinguished scholars : the Rev. Dr. Wheeler, president ; Dr.

29

226 Descendants of

Marsh, professor of metaphysics ; Dr. Torrey, of Latin and
Greek ; Farrand N. Benedict (his brother), of mathematics ;
and George W. Benedict (his cousin), of chemistry and natural
history ; and he has always enjoyed their confidence and friend-
ship. His brother Abner was his class-mate and chum, and both
graduated with honor. He showed ho special predeliction for
any one branch of learning, but that equal love for all which has
ever since characterized him. After graduation, he was em-
ployed in civil engineering, until his health required him to
relinquish that occupation. He was then engaged in private
teaching until 1848, when he took charge of the Burlington High
school, in which he had been prepared for college. Under his
management, the institution had unwonted prosperity, the num-
ber of scholars increasing rapidly five-fold. In 1850 he removed
to New York city, and after giving private instruction for about
a year, he was appointed tutor of mathematics in the Free
Academy, since known as the College of the city of New York.
In 1852 he was appointed professor of civil engineering, and in
1857, adjunct professor of mathematics, in the same institution.
His only published work is a treatise on Algebra, which in a
short time ran through nine editions. He applied his powers
with singular zeal and affection to the laborious duties of his
professorship. Graduates of the New York College are to be
found in every state of the union, occupying positions of honor
and trust, who will remember him affectionately as an indefatig-
able worker in their interest, and many of them as a valued
counsellor and friend. In his relations to the faculty, his voice
was ever in favor of the highest standard of scholarship com-
patible with the practical character which at the start was sought
to be impressed upon the institution. Mr. Benedict's private
library, which has been steadily growing from the time he left
college, is a pretty fair measure of the scope and range of his
studies, and his taste for the quiet life of a student. Of this
library. Dr. Torrey, the professor referred to above, and the
translator of Neander^s History of the Christian Churchy and a
scholar of fine bibliographical knowledge, said to the writer of

had seen. In this, all departments of inquiry are represented by

parents, who died within a few days of each other, at Brighton.
His father's family was then broken up and scattered, no two of
its members meeting for several years. This separation occur-
ring when he was so young, it required in after years a formal
introduction to make him known again to each of his brothers
and sisters. He was taken into the family of his brother. Far-

in 1846. The following year he passed as preceptor of the
Milton Academy in Vermont. He had charge of the Essex
county Academy, Westport, through the year 1845. In the
years 1846 and 1847 ^^ edited the Whitehall Chronicle^ at
Whitehall, when he removed to New York city, where he was
admitted to the bar in January, 1848, and where he has since
been a successful practitioner. During the time he edited the
Chronicle^ the circulation of the paper was more than double
as the result of his literary contributions. He acquired a repu-
tation in college as a writer of force, which reputation has been
maintained by occasional addresses and contributions to news-
papers and periodicals. An article by him on the admiralty law
in Hunt's Merchants^ Magagine^ was widely noticed at the time
as an able, readable and valuable paper. It is to be found in
the 23d vol. of that work. He delivered the annual address
(1869) before the Franklin Electrical Institute. Nervous and
imaginative by inheritance, he is very vivacious, impulsive and
emotional. He was vice-president of a union league club in
Westchester Co», throughout the late war, which office was no
sinecure. His readings are general, with a proclivity to philoso-

phical and metaphysical enquiry, and to abstract thought. In
social intercourse his conversational powers are striking. He is
epigrammatic, humorous, often witty, always ^ short, clear and
surprising,' and ready at repartee. He is a good lawyer, but
his characteristic habits and tastes have prevented professional
subjects from absorbing his mind and efforts, and carrying him
to that eminence at the bar, which he might easily have attained.
Whereever he has been known, he has been esteemed an earnest,
thoughtful scholar, and has always identified himself, in small
things as well as great, with the party of progress and reform,
fighting against any odds in the fullest confidence that the right
is sure to prevail sooner or later." Ch.

Stafford,* who was b. July i, 1791, in Albany. He received
from nature a physical organization of rare perfection and vigor,
and his intellect was after the fashion of the body it animated.

* Spencer Stafford was the youngest son of Col. Joab, son of Thomas, son of
Samuel, son of Thomas Stafford, who was born 1605, in Warwickshire, England,
camtf to Plymouth, New England, in or about the year 1626, settled at Warwick,
R. I., in 1652, and died there in 1677. Col. Joab was one of the earliest and
principal settlers of the town of Cheshire, Berkshire Co., Mass., removing from
Rhode Island in the year 1767. He was a captain in the Revolutionary war, and
was pensioned for a wound received in the battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777.
He died at Cheshire, Nov. 23, 1801. His son, Spencer, was born May 10, 1772,
settled at Albany in 1783, where he married Sept. 7, 1790, Dorothea, fourth child
of Bernardus and Ellen (Clark) Hallenbake. Mr. Stafford and a brother engaged in
the hardware trade, and they soon became *' men of extensive business connections ** and
are mentioned in the RtcolUctions of Albany^ as among the <* principal merchants of
the city, those who gave life and character to its business interests.** See Contrihutiem
to a Stafford Genealogy.

Bernardus Halenbake, father of Dorothea Stafford, was a son of Hendrik, who
was a son of Isaac Casparse, who was a son of the original settler Caspar Jacobse
Halenbeek, who made hb will in 1685. The estate of Hendrik Halenbake origin-
ally comprised what is now the southern section of Albany, extending from Plain
to Arch street, where it adjoined the farm of Gen. Schuyler, and having the river
for its eastern and Eagle street for its western boundaries. «This, with an island
in the river, and lands in other places, in all 1806 acres, constituted the Halenbeek
estate. MuntelFs Hist. Co/It., vol. II, pp. 410-416.

robust, masculine, and active even to restlessness. An uncom-
monly inquisitive spirit led him to scrutinize closely whatever
passed within his notice, and when, at the age of twenty, he left
Milton to reside in Albany, there were few things in rural
economy, or in business as then done, that he did not perfectly
understand. In 1806, having attained legal age, he was admitted
a partner in the firm of Marvin Benedict & Co., which his
father had established in Albany the year before. In 18 13,
this firm was dissolved by the death of Uriah Benedfct. In
1815 he became a partner in the firm of his father-in-law,
StafFords, Spencer & Co. The hardware business proved
especially agreeable to him, and be never forsook it during his
business life. His connection with his father-in-law, in mer-
cantile relations, ceased in 1825, and never was renewed.
Thenceforth, he was senior in all his partnerships, and they were
numerous. Although he was, himself, always a resident of
Albany, he had partners and establishments elsewhere, at various
times, especially in Utica, Rochester and New York. His activity,
enterprise and public spirit, soon placed him in the front rank of the
leading men of the city ; and every project designed to increase
its business, wealth, population or attractiveness, found in him
an energetic supporter. Having taken an active part in esta-
blishing the Commercial Bank, in 1826, he was appointed one of
its first board of directors, and he remained one, so long as he
was in business. He was, also, a director of the Albany Insurance
Company. About the same time be became greatly interested
in promoting steam navigation on the Hudson river, and was
stockholder and director in several associations formed for that
purpose. In 1833, the Utica and Schenectady rail road com-
pany was incorporated, and he was named a corporator. He
was also chosen director on the organization of the company,
and was continued in the board until 1847, when he declined to
serve longer. The construction of this road was attended with
difficulties hardly to be imagined now. There was no prece-
dent for anything ; a very few short lines of rail road only
having been built in the country at that time. As a member of
the executive committee of the board, he devoted days and
nights to the service of the corporation. The then engineer of

230 Descendants of

construction, and, subsequently, superintendent for fifteen con-
secutive years, William C. Young, writing in 1862, of Mr.
Benedict's connection with the enterprise, says: ^^His influ-
ence was positive and effective in the organization and manage-
ment of the Utica and Schenectady rail road, and contributed to
a successful result in general and in detail, and that inaugurated a
system of economy and practicabilities in the rail road system,
which was the prevailing one for the time." The Albany and
West Stockbridge rail road received his support from its incep-
tion, and he served it as a director for many years. He he! *
the same relation to the Saratoga and Schenectady rail road, and
took a leading part in its location, construction and manage-
ment. The public works of internal improvement, especially
the canals, were objects of much interest and solicitude to him.
Ex-canal commissioner, Asa Whitney, says : " The canal
system of the state was then (1839) occupying a prominent
place in the public mind, particularly the enlargement of the
Erie canal. Mr. Benedict was among the most prominent and
efficient advocates of prosecuting the enlargement to completion.
My connection with the project as a canal commissioner, brought
me in contact with the most prominent men of the state, who
interested themselves in the question ; and the opinions of
none were more respected and deferred to, than those of Lewis
Benedict."

It would not consist with the limits or the design of this paper
to recount with even an approximation to completeness, the
multiform labors Mr. Benedict performed, the sacrifices of busi-
ness and money he offered, the anxieties and trials he endured
through long years, in order to advance the cause of good
government and universal freedom. To do that, would require
a history of all the phases of faith that parties exhibited, and
the vicissitudes of fortune they encountered during his long life,
together with a narrative of his personal experiences that alone
would fill a volume. It is enough to say that, in devising,
recruiting, and cherishing the political organizations whose
course, at times, seemed erratic and its aims shifting, to such
as knew not of a certain steady purpose, of which the fiir-
sighted statesmen who shaped its ends never lost sight \ and

which finally disclosed its true mission in the sublime exhibitions
of force and patience made by the republican party of the Civil
War, he was efficient and faithful ; and although darker days
than the liberal party saw in the course of its protracted struggle
never dawned upon the country, neither the hope nor the spirits
of its leaders ever flagged. The day is past when any can
contemn the wisdom, doubt the patriotism, or deny the services
of that illustrious triumvirate, ^^ Seward, Weed, and Gfeeley,'*and
escape the imputation that themselves are neither wise, patriotic,
f\pr truthful. Of the little company who shared in the coun-
cils of which this party was born, who firamed its issues, organ-
ized^ its forces, planned its campaigns and then fought them,
who moderated its triumphs and retrieved its defeats, by all of
which its growth was first protected and then assured, next to
those eminent men, who comes, if not Lewis Benedict, with
his fertile brain, his tireless and gratuitous industry, his invinci-
ble courage ?

Three of Mr. Benedict's colaborers, fitted by long and inti-
mate association to speak of his qualities, and from their position
the best acquainted with the nature, extent, and value of his
services, have recorded their opinions of him and his works.
Oh an occasion which made it proper for Mr. Weed to speak
in this behalf, he said : ^^ In the darkest days of Jacksonism
and Van Burenism, when the Albany regency wielded with an
iron despotism the power of the general, state, and city govern-
ments, Mr. Benedict was foremost^in services and sacrifices,
among the few who upheld the whig banner. As chairman of
the whig state committee, for six memorable years, he was the
political engineer who organized and guided the whig phalanx.
To him there were no terrors in defeat. Beaten in one cam-
paign he immediately set about a reorganization for another.
In 1837 he established the Jeffersonian^ a paper which con-
tributed largely to the successes which followed. In the great
presidential conflict of 1840, Mr. Benedict, abandoning his own
business, gave himself up to the whig party. * * * Further
back, in 1824, he aided essentially in carrying this state for
John Quincy Adams, as President. After our success in 1837,
Mr. Benedict was invited to take the office of state treasurer.

but he declined that and other stations." Governor Seward,
addressing him in 1843, wrote: ^('^ *- * there would have
been no successful whig party without your energetic and
indomitable efforts.'' Mr. Greeley, in an obituary notice, saidt
^^ He was probably more influential in the politics of our state
for a series of years, than any other private citizen."

In domestic and social relations, Mr. Benedict revealed soft-
nesses and 'sympathies which a somewhat brusque manner, and
a positiveness in statement quite common with him, gave no
token that he possessed. He had a high respect for science
and learning, but to his desire to promote their diffusion was
added an equally strong one to patronize every means devised
by religious thoughtfulness for the spread of the gospel, dnd
especially for every means of instruction that promised to in-
crease the knowledge and elevate the morals of the youth
of the country. His conspicuous connection with public
questions and party management, made him acquainted with
men of parallel pursuits and position, of all shades of politi-
cal belief, and it was one of his pleasures to assemble them
in his own home, as if to demonstrate how completely he
excluded from the sacred retreats of private life, the asperities
and antagonisms in which he so freely indulged outside of those
enclosures. These hospitable modes characterized his social
life during his long career as a politician and merchant.

The 14th of January, 1862, was the fiftieth anniversary of
his marriage, and he commemorated it by a golden wedding.
Notwithstanding the expectation of life reasonably justified by
his high physical and mental condition on that evening, in six
months thereafter Lewis Benedict had no existence save in
memory. He died July .15th, 1862.

Mrs. Benedict survived more than seven years, dying Dec.
30, 1869. She was a woman whose prominent character-
istics were of the kind that command respect and win regard.
She devoted herself to the duties that belonged to the varying
relations of her life. As a daughter she was dutiful to a degree
that evoked the blessing of her father on his death-bed, because
she had never caused him an anxiety in all her life. As a wife
and mother she was a model of tenderness and fidelity toward

John Benedict. 233

her husband, and of love and thoughtfulness for her children.
She assumed the obligations of religion, and confessed those
she owed to the world around her ; discharging the one class
with diligence and fervency of spirit, and the other with charity
for the infirmities of the weak and erring, sympathy for the
afficted, help for the needy, encouragement for the struggling,
and applause for such as did well. She was singularly discreet
in speech, and always mindful of the interests of peace, so that
she lived encompassed by friends, and died without an enemy.

Lewis, b. Sept. 2, 1817. His early studies were prosecuted at
Aurora, Cayuga Co., but his preparation for college was made
mainly at the Albany Academy. In 1834 he entered the sopho-
more class of Williams College, and graduated in 1837. Three
years after he delivered the Master's Oration. As a boy, he was
noted for his zeal and diligence in study, and not less for enter-
prise in play. The records of the Albany Academy attest his
success in competitive examinations ; and it is well remembered^
* by many who shared in them, how, after sweeping the prizes for
scholarship, he would resort to the play ground, and exhibit
equal superiority in those games and contests, which are alike the
peril and delight of robust and ambitious boyhood. His collegiate
career resembled his academic — it was successful to whatever
degree he chose to make it. While a student of the law, he
maintained sufficient ardor of pursuit to enable him to acquire a
knowledge of the elements of that science ; but his taste for
general literature was decided enough to save him from engross-
ment by studies purely professional. Hb legal studies were
directed by the Hon. John C. Spencer, at Canandaigua, and on
his admission to the bar, in January, 1841, Marcus T. Reynolds,
then at the zenith of his professional fame and intellectual vigor,
received him as his partner in the law. He was subsequently
admitted to the state and federal courts. In 1 845 he was appointed
city attorney, and was reappointed for a second term. In 1 847 he
was appointed judge advocate genera], on the staff of Gov. John
Young. In 1848 he was elected surrogate of the city and county
of Albany for four years. In 1849 he was appointed judge
advocate general by Gov. Hamilton Fish. In i852«and again
in i860, he received the whig nomination for city recorder. In
1854 he was appointed one of the three commissioners to report
on the pecuniary and other conditions of the several state prisons,
and to devise laws for their better regulation and discipline.
The committee made a voluminous report to the assembly in 1855.
In the fall of i860 he was nominated by the union men of the
district for member of assembly, and was the only union candidate
elected from the county. His political career closed in 1 860. He
was always a leader. He was often delegate to conventions, state
and county, chairman of committees, general and local, a prolific
author of addresses and resolutions^ and a frequent speaker at
political assemblages. As a surrogate the clearness of his mind
and the equity of his convictions receive some illustration from
the circumstance that of the many judgments pronounced by him,
during his considerable term, but one, and that made in his
noviciate, is known to have been reversed by an appellate tri-
bunal. On the outbreak of the rebellion, he early ofiered his
services to the governor. Declining offers of higher positions, to
which, as a civilian, he feared himself unsuited, he finally
accepted ihe lieutenant colonelcy of the Second Fire Zouaves

{73d N. Y. Vols.). This re^ment made a part of the Excelsior
Brigade under Gen. Sickles, took part in the siege of Yorktown,
and was the first to plant its colors upon the ramparts after the
evacuation of the place by the rebels. The battle of Williams-
burgh, May 5th9 1862» followed, and Col. B. was taken prisoner
while bringing up the reserve to reinforce the extreme left which
was being persistently assailed by the rebel General Joseph £.
Johnston. He was taken to Libby prison, and thence to Salis-
bury, North Carolina. He was exchanged August lo, 1862,
and his exchange was officially announced September 30, 1862.
He came home in wretched health, but careful nursing saved his
life. He was, as soon as his condition permitted, appointed by
Qo^* Morgan, colonel i62d New York volunteers. The regi-
ment was ordered to, and arrived at New Orleans, December
15, 1862. About January 10, 1863, Col. Benedict was ordered
to Donaldsonville, sixty miles above New Orleans, and was act-
ing brigadier-general at that post. He commanded a brigade at
the battle of Port Hudson, June 14, 1863, where his calm
bravery excited the admiration of all who witnessed it. The
next day Gen. Banks called for one thousand volunteers to storm
the enemy's works. Col. B. volunteered to lead one of the two
battalions, but the fall of Vicbburg made the attack unnecessary,
and the forlorn hope lost the opportunity of illustrating its bravery
and patriotism. About the middle of August Gen. Banks
reorganised the army, and put Col. Benedict in command of the
First Brigade, Third Division of the Nineteenth Army Corps.
He was engaged in the expedition against Sabine city under Gen.
Franklin, and soon afterward was ordered to Brashear city, in
western Louisiana. In the skirmish near Vermillion Bayou, he
had the satisfaction of stopping the advance of the rebels who
were driving our cavalry before them. His position was so well
taken that his small force succeeded in repulsing the large q;}asses
of the enemy with a loss of but five killed and wounded.
February 2, 1864, he arrived at Franklin, La., where the army
was concentrated. Here was organized the Red River expedi-
tion. Col B. was assigned to the command of the Third Brigade,
First Division (Gen. Emory) Nineteenth Army Corps. The
army moved the 15 th of March. On the 8th of April, fifteen
miles beyond Pleasant Hill, which was reached by the main army
on the 7th, was fought the sanguinary battle of Pleasant Grove,
which ended in a victory for the nationals, just as darkness
covered the scene. ** Nothing,** said Gen. Banb in his report,
*' could surpass in impetuosity the assault of the enemy, but the
inflexible steadiness and valor of our troops. The First Division
of the Nineteenth Army Corps, by its great bravery in this
acdon, saved the army and navy." Col. Benedict was especially
commended for the manner in which he handled his brigade,
which was mainly instrumental in eflecting this repulse. The

rebels receiving reinfercemenu, renewed the ^ht on the 9th, it
Pleuani Hill, to which phce our army had faUen back. The
Third Brigade wai poitcd, oiuupported, on the extreme left of
the line of battle. Towards evening the eneny made ■ deipeniie
ancmpE to carry this, our weakest position, Ming with teveral
brigades upon Col. Benedict's small force of about 3,000 men.
" Ouinumbcred as well as outflanked, and being without any near
lupport, his brigade fell steadily back, £ghdng ^dlanily as ihey
were pushed up the acclivity of Pleasant Hill. In die conflict
down the slope at the first shock of the onset, and white rallyiiw
his men to a charge, CoL Benedict fell, pierced fay five bulleti.
Lossing adds : " No better or more beloved soldier and citbEcn
than he, gave his life for his coancry daring the war." He was
boried with civic and military honon in the Albany Rnral Ceme-
tery, May 1, 1S64. His nomination as brevet bripdier-general

civilization had not then penetrated into this dense wilderness.
True, the French traders had visited the Indians in their rude
cabins, and even established trading posts, but these had disap-
peared with time and change. Yet through the deep, thick
forest of hemlock, maple, elm and basswood, wandered the bold,
resolute pioneer, Samuel Benedict, who, in the fall of 1793,

^* Shortly after his birth, the family removed to Bridgeport, where
his father died before he was five years old. His mother was
. left with a very small patrimony. The ordinary way' would
have been to husband this and set the boy at work as soon as
possible, but she appreciated the value of education for this, her
only child, and resolved to use her limited means, mainly, for that
purpose. From the necessity of the case, she was extremely
jcconomical in everything excepting books and education for her
boy. He remained with her until he was twelve years old
(using diligently all the educational advantages of the town),
when he was sent to a classical school, at Danbury, to prepare
for college. He entered Yale College in the autumn of
1826, and remained there about two years, when failing health
compelled his mother, on the advice of the physician, to with-
draw him. He was then sent abroad ; returned in about a
year restored in health, and commenced the study of law in the
office of J. W. Girard, Esq., of New York city. He was
admitted to the bar in November, 1832. He soon formed a
business connection with Charles O'Conor, Esq., at a salary of
$500 a year, and on this assured income, he was married. Not
long after, he was taken into partnership by Mr. O'Conor, with
whom he remained about two years. Then a wealthy relative
proposed a lucrative engagement in the mercantile line, which.

with Mr. O'Conor's approbation, he accepted. After two
years experience in mercantile business, ending with^^the crisis
and crash of 1837, he was glad to return to his old profession,
and to his partnership connection with Mr. O'Conor. In 1839,
he commenced alone, and, in 1843, Andrew Boardman, who'
had studied with him, became his partner. The firm of Bene*
diet & Boardman is one of the most respected and prosperous,
as it is, now, one of the oldest law firms in the city of New York.
Owing to an impulsive temperament, Mr. Benedict's decisions
are made promptly, yet, on account of his quick perception^,
they are almost invariably correct. Of late years he has prac-
tised but little at the bar, but his advice and counsel has been
earnestly sought in a number of important cases. His cheerful
disposition has made many a despondent client leave his office
with a lighter heart. His soundness of judgment and thorough
integrity, combined with an untiring industry, have given
him the confidence of all with whom he comes in contact.
While a student at law in 1831, away from his home and its
restraints, and while exposed to the perils and temptations of a
great city, he united with the Presbyterian church in Laight
street, under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Cox. Since that
period he has been an active Christian man, identified with what
heretofore has been called the new school Presbyterian church ;
for many years an elder in the Madison Square Presbyterian
church, also a member of the general assembly's board on church
erection, and for many years its treasurer and secretary. He
was, also, for a protracted period, a member of the general
assembly's education Committee. These various duties were
performed with that energy and skill which is habitual to the
man. A close and critical student of the Bible, his best thoughts
and hours of leisure have been bestowed upon it, and few have
acquired greater skill and ability than he in explaining and applying
the Word of God, or few are listened to with more delight and
attention. Now (1870) in his 60th year, and in the enjoy-
ment of good health, with ample means, and surrounded with
nearly thirty children and grandchildren, he is spending the
evening of his life in quiet and comfort at his delightful home
at Audubon Park on the banks of the Hudson." Ch.

Benedict Freeman died March 10, 1870. "Her schoolmates in
Spingler Institute remember her as the life of the school. At more
mature years she wielded a skillful pen, and was a frequent contributor
to the columns of the N. Y. Observer, When the war broke
out she found full scope for her warm hean, in visiting the hospitals
and waiting on the wounded soldiers, readine to them, writing
their letters, and in carrying them delicacies to tempt their
capricious appetites. It is not yet two years since she entered
upon the duties of a pastor's wife, with all the zeal of her earnest
nature, laboring in season and out of season. With particular
earnestness did she strive to win young souls to Jesus, yet with
patient humility, bearing the bodily weakness that retarded her
work, remembering that ' they also serve, who only stand and
wait,' and so, she went trustingly ' from the shadow of this world's
night into God's pure sunshine bright.' *'

about 1 8 14, Lavinta Moore of Winsted, Ct., and soon after
moved to Western New York. He was for fifty-three years a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and for twenty-five
years discharged faithfully the duties of class leader and steward
of the church. He became a local preacher at the age of sixty-
eight. ^^ We have never known a more remarkable instance of
the brilliant as well as the mature Christian in one so far advanced
in life. Naturally of a strong constitution, he retained his
physical and mental faculties in almost the freshness and vigor
of youth, and was a living illustration of the Psalmist's view -of
religion in life's decline, as portrayed in Psalms xcii, 12, 14.
At the age of eighty-nine he would stand in the pulpit, and with
countenance flushed with health, and beaming with love to man,
with clear and strong voice, and his sermon in his heart, he
would proclaim a Saviour willing to save the chief of sinners,
and able to save to the uttermost. He retained his faculties
remarkably to the very close of life, and was cheerful and social
after eighty, as in middle age. His Christianity made him
buoyant with hope, and the storms and afflictions of life — of
which he had his share — were the background of the rainbow."

1. Lieut. Daniel* {Thomaf) Benedict was born at Southold,
L. L, 165-, and after his removal to Norwalk, Ct., married
Mary, dau. of Matthew* Marvin'*' of Norwalk, Ct. {Hall^ p.
182). He was a soldier in the direful swamp fight, Dec. 19,
1675, a fight which has scarcely a parallel in the annals of
ancient or modern warfare. At a town (Norwalk) meeting,
Jan. 12, 1676: ^^The towne in consideration of the good
service that the soldiers sent out of the towne ingaged and per-
formed by them, and out of respect and thankfulness to the
sayd soldiers, doe with one consent and freely give and grant to
so many as were in the direful swamp fight twelve acors of
land ; and eight acors of land to so niany as were in the next
considerable service." Accordingly, there was granted by the
plantation, as a gratuity unto Daniel Benedict, *^ being a souldier
in the Indian warr twelfe acres of land and lyeth in three parcels."

* The MarriA Genealogy ^oes not mention Maty among the children of Matthew,*
b«t, as there was but one hmHj of the name among the early lettlers of Connecticnt,
and as I find in toL V, p. 267, of Norwalk Deeds that property is iccofded Feb. 1 5,

Point, on Long Island Sound, April 25, 1777, marched upon that
place, he was Colonel of militia there. Upon the death of Gen.
Wooster the command devolved upon Col. Cooke, the next in
rank. ** Col. Cooke was greatly esteemed, not only by the com-
munity, but by the leading men of the country. He enjoyed
the friendship and confidence of Washington, and the acquaint-
, ance of Lafayette, Rochambeau and De Grasse, whom he enter-
tained at his house. He was a member of Congress under the
confederation, and subsequently filled the various offices of judge
of the county court, judge of probate and member of the Go-
vernor's Council. His style of living was liberal. In manners
and dress he was strongly marked with the Washingtonian era;
he was sedate, courteous, methodical in all his ways; he wore
breeches, knee-buckles, shoe-buckles, and a cocked hat to the
last. The amenity and serenity of his countenance bespoke the
refined gentleman and disciplined Christian." (See G^Qdricl^s

Hall College of New Jersey, in 1757 ; received the degree of
Master of Arts, ad eundem^ from Yale College, in 1 760, and
was a fellow of that institution from 1801 to 18 12. He served
as chaplain of 13th Regt., Ct. militia, from 1795 to 18 12.
Mr. B. was ordained as pastor of the first society in Woodbury,
Oct. 22, 1760. He was a man of sound piety, and of great
dignity and amiability of temper. He held an honored place in
the affections of his people. He was successful as a spiritual
teacher, and was followed to the tomb by his parishioners with
hearts throbbing with grief. His church has been noted for the
length of time it has enjoyed the services of its ministers.
There is, perhaps, no other instance in the country where a
church has been presided over by three pastors, as has been the
case with this, for the long period of one hundred and forty-
three years. Mr. B. was spoken of, during his life, and is still
so remembered, as oi)e of the fairest specimens of the good
clergymen of Connecticut. Constitutionally, he had a well

47

.^

balanced mind \ singularly discreet and exemplary in his every
day deportment, and in all the relations of life ; as a preacher
and counsellor, he held a high rank. His temper was even,
and his condition was placid and easy. Temptations, he was
cautious, and even zealous to put, if possible, out of the way.
He once had a favorite horse, young, sound, gentle, active and
graceful ; the animal was admired by his* rider's parishioners.
But Mr. Benedict, to the surprise of all; sold the horse. A
neighbor expressed his astonishment at the event, and inquired
the reason of it. "He was growing unruly," was the grave
pastor's reply. " But I thought," said the man, " that he was
a very orderly horse," ** No," was the rejoinder ; ** he was
growing quite unruly ; he once got into the pulpit, and I thought
it was time to part with him." Mr. Benedict was blessed in his
family, aild honored in the alliances of his children by marriage,
and by their eminent usefulness and the distinctions to which
they attained in public offices and employments. His people
never desired his separation ; death effected it April 20, 1813,
at the age of seventy-six. He lives in the sweet and grateful
remembrance of the aged in his parish and out of it ; and the
present generation of Woodbury have heard from the reverential
and affectionate, the story of his goodness.* {Cothren^s History
Ancient Woodbury^ pp. 301-304, see also p. 229.) His sermon
delivered on the occasion of the death of Rev. Dr. Bellamy in
1790, was published with an appendix, in pamphlet form, and has

* S. G. Goodrich, in his Recollections of a Life-time (p. 378, vol. II), says : «« At
length we departed firom Durham, and took, our way homeward, arriving at last ac
Woodbury. Here we remained a week or ten days, being hospitably entertained by
the Rev. Noah Benedict, my brother-in-law*8 uncle. He lived in a large, low, old-
fashioned house, embowered in elms, and having about it an air of antiquity, comfort,
and repose. He was himself very aged — nearly eighty years old, I should judge.
He was like my own lineage, of the orthodox faith, and sometimes officiated in the
pulpit, though he had now a colleague. I need not describe him further than to say
that he was a fine old man, greatly beloved by his parish, and almost adored by his
immediate connections. Close by, in a sumptuous house, lived his son, Hon. Noah
B. Benedict, then a leading lawyer of the state. Half a mile to the south, in an
antique, gable-roofed mansion, dwelt his daughter, the wife of Nathaniel Smith, one
of the judges of the supreme court, and regarded as the intellectual giant of bis time."

Daniel Benedict. 371

1861. He grad. at Yale College in 1788, and was admitted to
the bar in Litchfield Co., in 1792. He was appointed judge of
probate in 1805, and resigned in 1816, on being elected an assist-
ant (senator) or member of the council, which office he filled
two years. He was elected a member of the house of representa-
tives (Connecticut) in Oct., 1796, and reelected to ten sessions,
subsequently, between this date and May, 1827. He was clerk
of 'the house in 1809, and May, 1810. In the third week in
June, 1831, Mr. Benedict came to Litchfield, to argue, among
other cases, that of Fairman v. Bacon, 8 Connecticut Reports, ^iS.
Just before that case came on, he was taken ill at his lodging, and
could only send in the brief he had prepared. He was carried
home, but survived only a few days. Judge Daggett, in giving the
opinion of the court, in the case referred to, says he made ** great
use of the brief furnished by Mr. B., because he found it pre-
sented the argument in that dense, yet luminous view, for which
that gentleman was so conspicuous, and by which the court were
so often instructed and enlightened; and rarely more so than
in this, one of his last efforts." His death occurred July 2,
1831, at the age of sixty years. He d. without issue. '^ He was
honorably distinguished in his profession, courteous, affectionate
and kind in his feeling, and endeared to the circle of his relatives
and friends by his numerous virtues." Such is the modest record
on his tombstone. He devised in his will the right of reversion
to his homestead and some fifteen acres of valuable land, '' to the
1st Congr. or Pres. Soc. of Woodbury, Ct." {Cotbren*s History

an ornament to the town that gave him birth, to the pro-
fession which he adorned, to the bench on which he sat with
unsullied purity, rectitude of purpose, and unbending devotion to
the demands of justice, and to his friends who clustered thickly
around him. He was admitted to the bar in 1787, and imme-
diately after commenced the practice of his profession in Wood-
bury, where he continued to reside until his death, March 9,
1822. Almost immediately he rose to eminence in his profes-
sion. Some of his first arguments were masterly forensic efforts.
In October, 1789, he was elected a member of the General
Assembly, and was reelected four times previous to 1795. In
the house he was a distinguished member, and took a leading part
in it. Yale college bestowed, in 1795, the honorary degree of
A. M. In the same year he was elected a member of the
congress of the United States, in which office he served four
years, when he declined a second reelection. He particularly
distinguished himself in the discussions in congress relating to the
ratification of the British treaty. In 1 799, elected to a seat in

remained a member of this body till May, 1805. In OcL,

appears to have been been appointed captain three times, receiv-
ing the last appointment, Nov., 1776. Hinman says ^^that at
the time he was taken prisoner, one half of his company being
with him, were also taken — the other half then being in Fort
Lee, on the other bank of the Hudson. The prisoners, except-
ing officers, were confined in the sugar house, in New York.
The cruelties inflicted upon them are the theme of conversation
among their relatives to this day. The detail of the sufferings
was communicated to their friends by the survivors, Sergt.
[Jonah] Benedict and Stephen Bump. Col. Joseph Barnum,
the father of one of these sufferers learned from them that, for
many days, his son, having been deprived of food and drink,
literally died of hunger in the act of attempting to bite a brick,
and with a piece of brick in his mouth," etc. (See Hinman^s

burned during his absence, and immediately put up another of
unhewn logs, and into this moved his heroic family. In 18 18,
Mr. Benedict built a frame barn, the first frame building in the
township, and in the following year a brick house, in which he
lived until his death. In 18 18, the first religious meeting of
Norwalk was held in his house. In 1832, Mr. Benedict
planted the first apple orchard, and introduced the first im-
proved stock — Devon cattle and merino sheep. He also
obtained some agricultural implements, which, had hitherto
been unknown in that community. He lived (says the Cleve-
land Leader) to reap the reward of his labors, and to gather
about him, surrounded by peace and plenty, his children, and
his children's children, even to the third and fourth generations.
He possessed the most remarkable vitality for one so advanced
in years, it being a frequent occurrence for him to harness his
horse when he wished to ride, and even the night before his
death, he was able to be in his office and attend to matters of
business. He attended the Grand Encampment of Masons at
Toledo, a few days since, and the illness which caused his death
is attributed to over exertion and a cold which he contracted
at that time. He connected himself with the Masonic frater-
nity in 181 1, and ever after was a prominent and active
member. He held many offices in the order of trust and
honor, the duties of which he invariably discharged with the
utmost fidelity. He also held several civil offices, which he
adorned by thic strictest adherence to principle, always proving
himself eminently worthy of the trust confided in him. He
held the office of postmaster from 18 18 to 1828, when he was
removed by Gen. Jackson \ was elected justice of the peace in
1828 and 1 83 1, and mayor in 1835, 1840, 1845 ^"^ 1856.
Upon the organization of the Fire Lands Historical Society in
1857, ^^ ^^^ chosen its president, and so faithfully did he per-
form his duties that he was reelected every succeeding year,
and held the office at the time of his death. He was always
prompt in his attendance, and was one of its most active and
efficient members, contributing greatly, in various ways, to its
prosperity. The Fire Lands' Pioneer thus speaks of his de-
parture: ^^Died at his residence, in Norwalk, Oct. 25, 1866,

Platt Benedict, the venerable President of the Fire Lands
Historical Society, aged 91 years, 7 months and 7 days. The
patriarch is gone ! The intelligence will fall on many ears
with a sad and mournful interest. The citizens of the Fire
Lands have regarded with filial affection, and in his declining
years almost with reverence, the venerable man, who, for half
a century, has been the pioneer settler of Norwalk. Like a
^ shock of corn fully ripe,' he has closed his eventful career,
and as he sleeps amid the beautiful groves planted by his hands,
may his memory be held in grateful remembrance by this whole
community, who enjoys the fruits of his labors. * ♦ * The

he left college, with forty-four others, on account of a Conic

and entered junior class of Union College, but owing to the

^^ At an early age he entered Yale College, but was compelled
(after remaining eighteen months) to leave on account of ill
health. A sea voyage, and following the plow every working
day for three months, were the means of restoring his health in
some measure, but not considering it safe to pursue a course of

study, he went, in 1804, to Waterbury, and formed a partner-
ship with Joseph Burton, in mercantile business, which was
carried on until 181 2. He then commenced the manufacture
of bone buttons, but this business after several years trial
proving unsatis&ctory, he became associated with others in a
project to manufacture gilt buttons, Mr. B. being general part-
ner and sole manager of the concern. The prosperity of
Waterbury, and its fame as a manufacturing town, date from
the establishment of this branch of industry. A new partner-
ship, in 1827, was succeeded in 1829 by another (Benedict &
Coe), with increased capital. The new firm rolled brass for
the market, and ever after, this has been an important branch of
the business. The copartnership of Benedict & Coe expiring
Feb. 10, 1834, a new one was formed, with a capital of $40,000,
under the name of Benedict & Burnham. Mr. Benedict's
skill and prudence carried the firm through the intervening
period, including the crises of 1837 and 1839, to January 14,
1843, when it became a joint stock corporation, under the name
of The Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Co., with a capital
of $100,000. The capital stock of this company has been
increased from time to time, till the present nominal capital is
$400,000, and the shares would sell readily at more than double
this sum. Mr. Benedict was chosen president of the company
in 1843, ^^ ^^^ formation, which office he still holds. He is
also director in several other joint stock companies in the town,
and also of the principal bank. He was member of the
state legislature (house) 1826 and 1841, and 1858-9, was
senator. For many years he has been a Deacon of the First
Congregational church of Waterbury, and his name appears
among the principal donors to the building fund of the new
Divinity Hall in New Haven, the corner stone of which was
laid Sept. 22, 1869. Mr. Benedict is also endowing a profes-
sorship in Iowa College. Mr. and Mrs. * Benedict celebrated
the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding, on the 17th of Sept.,
1868, and are still comparatively free from the infirmities of
age, and take a lively interest In the current events of the day.**

factory, and later he was, also, apprenticed to his uncle Zadock,
and worked in his factory until he became well acquainted with
the business. Energetic and ambitious, he thought Danbury,
Ct., and South Salem poor fields for enterprise, and, therefore,
in 1804, he went to New York and entered the employ of
Tweedy & Hoyt, manufacturers and dealers in hats and furs,
37 Maiden Lane. He soon gained the confidence and esteem of
his employers, and upon the death of Mr. Hoyt, became a
partner. About .1810, they rebuilt their store on the old site,
and continued there for many years doing a large and successful
business. Mr. Tweedy remained at Danbury, Ct., and super-
intended the large manufactory they had erected there, while
Mr. Benedict managed the store in New York, their southern
branches, and the business generally. Upoii the breaking out
of the war of 18 12, Mr. Benedict promptly offered his services

stationed during the greater^part of the war at the forts in New
York harbor. After the peace, he continued in the state military
service, and rapidly rose to Col., and Brig.-Gen. of Art'y (com-
mission as Brig.-Gen. dated June 27, 1823), until, in March
23, 1826, he was made Maj.-Gen., and placed in command of
2d Div. N, Y. State Art'y. Gen. Benedict took a deep interest
in politics \ being an intimate friend of De Witt Clinton, he
was his staunch supporter and an earnest advocate of the Erie
Canal. He was sent to the legislature in 1824. It was during
this session that a strong opposition to the measures of De Witt
Clinton sprang up, culminating in the passage by large majorities
In both houses of the resolution, removing him from his office
as canal commissioner. Although the legislature was almost
unanimous in this matter. Gen. Benedict stood upi almost alone
and manfully defended him. Upon the final vote. Gen. B. and
one other member recorded their votes against Clinton's removal.
A revolution in public sentiment made De Witt Clinton Governor
of the state, and Gen. B. was the only member of the legisla-
ture of 1824 who was returned by his constituents in 1825.
Thurlow Weed, in his Remintscenees^ published in the New York
TimeSy in winter of 1866, spoke of Gen. B. ^as a worthy and
excellent, man.' After his second term in the legislature, he
retired from public life, and, March 4, 1829, resigned his com-
mission as Maj.-Gen. The firm of Tweedy & Benedict was
dissolved, 1 826^7, Samuel Tweedy retiring. * Gen. B. continued
business until 1830, under the name of James Benedict & Co.,
when he removed to an estate he had purchased at Tarrytown,
where he resided until his death, July 23, 1841. He was,

delineation on our part to put forth his character in its true
light, so as to appropriate the text. For an age he has been
known to us in every capacity. His life and character has been
commented upon in your family circles, and in your interchange
of neighborly courtesies. To illustrate the nobleness of man,
and the reality of the Christian religion, he has stood as a
polished column, among the fallen, decayed timbers of corrupt
society and frail human nature around him. His name was a

man. * "*" * His religion was without ostentation, it was con-

March 24, 1795, and d. Nov. 18, 1864, in N^w York. Mr.
Benedict was for many years a successful minister of Christ, and
his memory is held in blessed remembrance. He was at one
time settled in Danbury, Ct. The following is taken from an
obituary notice of him : ^^ The Rev. Mr. Benedict was dis-
tinguished as one of the most popular and successful preachers
in the denomination to which he belonged. The Union Baptist
church was the first with which he sustained the pastoral relation
in this city (N. Y.), and under his ministrations soon outgrew
its place of worship, and erected the church on Stanton street ;
that house proved inadequate to accommodate the congregation
he attracted, and eventually the communicants could not find
room. Necessity thus compelled a portion of the church to
withdraw, which they did with him as their pastor, and purchased
the church on the corner of Norfolk and Broome streets, which
church he saw burned to the ground a short time before he died.
The congregation built on Norfolk street, and in a few years
sold to the Methodists, and is now flourishing up town as the
5th Avenue Baptist church. The character of Rev. Mr.
Benedict was distinguished for its gentleness, meekness and

396 Descendants of

patience, and yet possessed of sufficient firmness to resist the
encroachments of error. As a pastor he was to the aged a
companion and friend, to the young an example and adviser ; as
a preacher he was fiiithful and prayerful, admonishing his hearers
with an earnestness that made him eloquent, and a kindness that
would have been closed against denunciations. As a man he
was kind, forgiving, compassionate and just. In the social
circle his cheerful disposition rendered him the joy of the house-
hold.*' He d. Oa. 28, 1848, and was buried in Greenwood
Cemetery. Ch.

Benedict has, since 1833, been engaged in various business
enterprises, but mainly in connection with those companies
growing out of the business originally established by his father.
He is at this time treasurer, and, for about twenty yeafs past,
has had the general and principal management of the business
of The Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Co., which, during

* this period, has increased about three fold. He is now (1870)
President of the three other Joint Stock Manufacturing Cos.,
which have grown out of enterprizes started in direct connection
with the business of the old company, all of which are doing
a large and prosperous business. He was one of the original
projectors, and is still connected with the extensive manufactory
of g^s fixtures, clocks, bronzes, etc., in the city of New York,

now employ about four hundred men, and turn out as beautiful
and artistic work as the best found in the old world. Mr.
Benedict is, at this time, president of the Detroit and Lake
Superior Copper-Company, which owns and runs the smelting
works at Detroit and Houghton, and which has the past year,
under the efficient management of John R. Grout, Esq.,
smelted and refined over 22,000,000 pounds of copper, the
product of Lake Superior mines. Not having a taste for political
life, Mr. Benedict has never sought its honors. He was,

^^ He was educated at Yale College, and grad. with high honors
in the class of 1841. In 1845 ^^ received the degree of A. M.
He had fine intellectual gifts ; but, as he has written merely
for amusement, his writings consist only of fugitive pieces in
pfose and verse, which have never been collected for publication.
Being naturally of a retiring disposition, and left in affluent
circumstances by the death of his father, which occurred just
after he had taken his degree at college, he has led a very quiet
and retired life, devoting himself to Literary pleasures, and of
late years to the care of the family estate at Tarrytown, where
he has always resided. He has never married. In 1842 he
was obliged to seek health in foreign travel. Returning home
about the time of the nomination of Henry Clay for president,
he bgcame interested in politics, and identified himself with the
whig party. In the autumn of 1850, he consented to accept
the whig nomination for member of Assembly, and was elected
by a large majority, although his district had always before
given heavy democratic majorities. He was one of the leading
members in the Assembly chamber, although the youngest
member of the legislature of 1851, and identified iiimself with
several of the prominent bills passed that session. He was
chairman of the committee on public schools, and was much
complimented upon the report he made to the assembly on that
subject. In the autumn of 1 851, he received the whig nomi-
nation for state senator from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam
counties, and the New York Times (which had then but just
entered upon its career), came out with a long editorial article
upon his nomination, complimenting him and the nominating
convention in strong terms. He was compelled, however, to
decline the nomination, on account of ill health. In the spring
of 1852 he was elected delegate to the whig national convention,
which sat in Baltimore (the last national convention the whig
party ever held), and which nominated Gen. Winfield Scott for
president of the United States. In the autumn of that year
he was again compelled to seek health Mn other climates, and
accompanied his brother, James Milton Benedict, on an extended
tour in the West Indies. Since that time he has been
connected with the republican party, but has not mingled in

old, with his parents to the then almost unbroken wilderness of
Ohio, setding on the banks of Alum Creek, Morrow Co.
His advantages for acquiring knowledge, were, of coune, vtrj
limited, yet by devodng his spare moments to assiduous study, he
obtained quite a liberal education. Language was his ^vorite
study, and besides gaining a thorough knowledge of the English
tongue, he made considerable progress in Latin. He early
manifested a taste for literar)' pursuits, and was the author of a
number of poems as well as prose arddes on various topics. He
was eneigeticy resolute, and of undaunted courage. In vindicating
the cause of humanity and justice, he hazarded property, reputa*
don, and even lite. In him, the afflicted and oppressed of every
class, found a true and sympathizing friend ; but the poor, despised,
downtrodden and oppressed African, especially, was the object
of his philanthropy. Every effort in his power was put forth
to relieve the sufferings of the race, and relieve them from cruel
bondage. His house was one of the principal depots on the
through line of the ' underground rail road,' from the Ohio river
to Canada. Hundreds of poor fugitives have been fed and lodged
beneath his roof, and when the curse of slavery was wiped from
our land, by that glorious and crowning act of the immortal
Lincoln — the emancipation prodamadon — he did not fold hb
hands, but redoubled his efforts in relieving the wants oPthe suffering
freedmen. So conscientious was he in regard to slavery, that he
would neither use nor allow to be used in his family any article
which was the product of the unrequited labor [of the slave.
Mr. Benedict was, also, a firm advocate of temperance, and of
all the other reforms of the age. An ardent admirer of nature,
hejook great delight in collecting curious and rare specimens from
her laboratory. He was for many years an eminent minister in
the Society of Friends, and made several extended journeys in the
service of the society. He was attacked with paralysis of the
